Rob grew up in South Florida, where daily afternoon storms and hurricanes piqued his interest in meteorology early on. That interest was fostered by his teachers and his father, who one time brought him onto the roof of their home to watch a funnel cloud move through the Everglades several miles away. Years of filmmaking and tv production in high school gradually pushed him toward broadcast meteorology at Florida State University, where he joined and eventually led the student run daily weather show. After graduating with a Bachelors of Science in Meteorology, he began his career at KESQ in Palm Springs, California before heading to KFSN in Fresno and WLOS in Asheville, North Carolina. He has covered a diverse array of extreme weather events, including haboobs and flash flooding in the desert, extreme snow in the Sierra, hurricanes, and Appalachian ice storms. He also enjoys telling stories and reporting about weather issues.

A messy storm system will continue to push through the Eastern US on Thursday, producing snow and ice for the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, while portions of the Mid-South are warm enough for severe storms. Multiple tornado warnings were issued Thursday morning in Kentucky and West Virginia, with one storm system likely producing tornado damage in Kentucky. Flash flooding has been a significant threat as well, with flash flood emergencies issued overnight in West Virginia. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/02/1-1738899844225.png">Earlier this evening, there were a few tornado warnings in East Tennessee and Western Virginia. These storms did produce some damage in these areas and we will likely see more visuals when the sun is up on Friday. The good news is that thunderstorms and the tornado threat will continue to dwindle past midnight. With that being said, have a few ways to receive alerts if more warnings are issued in North Carolina!<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/02/Baron 2-1738900072218.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>
