Speaker: Burton Fitzimmons, Chief Meteorologist, Carter Communications

On June 25th, Burton Fitzsimmons, Chief Meteorologist for Spectrum News, gave an interesting talk on Modern Weather Forecasting. The large group in attendance learned about the technologies that have dramatically improved weather forecasting over the past few decades and where those technologies are going in the future to improve it even more.

Burton Fitzsimmons was born and raised in San Antonio, where he grew up watching storm clouds develop and change from the hilltop view of his childhood house. Burton’s passion for weather eventually earned him a Bachelor of Science from the University of Texas at Austin and a Certificate of Broadcast Meteorology from Mississippi State University. Today, you can find him covering the latest storms with the Spectrum News weather team.

For Burton, reporting the weather on Spectrum News allows him to take a personal approach by combining strong scientific analysis while using his real-life personality to connect with viewers on how the weather will impact their daily lives.
