WASHINGTON — Jonathan Myers is joining WUSA9's Get Up DC team as our weekday morning meteorologist.
Myers was formerly the Chief Meteorologist at FOX 45 in Baltimore, where he has forecasted record snowfalls, hurricanes and tornadoes for the last decade. Prior to working in Baltimore, Myers was the noon and 5 p.m. meteorologist at WWL-TV, the CBS affiliate in New Orleans. His career began up in New York state at WROC-TV in Rochester and WETM-TV in Elmira.
Myers has been awarded the American Meteorological Society`s (AMS) Certified Broadcast Meteorologist (CBM) Seal, the AMS`s most prestigious mark of distinction, for his forecasts. This is an upgrade of the American Meteorological Society Seal of Approval for Television, which he also holds. In addition, Jonathan has been granted the National Weather Association (NWA) Seal of Approval for Television. He is also a full member of both the American Meteorological Society and the National Weather Association.
He has also been nominated for an Emmy and awarded the Chesapeake Associated Press Broadcasters Association's AP Award for Best Weathercast four times.
Myers graduated from Penn State University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Meteorology with specialties in forecasting, tropical meteorology, and local-scale meteorology. While at Penn State, he sang tenor with the Penn State Glee Club. Myers also teaches classes in meteorology at the Community College of Baltimore County.
Myers has been making weather maps and tracking storms since he found out they canceled school if it snowed! Though originally from Queens, NY, Myers spent most of his childhood in Monroe, NY, in the Hudson Valley just north of New York City, where 2-hour delays and school cancellations were a regular occurrence during the winter.
Besides forecasting weather, Myers loves any and all sports he can play with his boys, including fishing, skiing, hiking, sailing and every team sport they decide to play.
Myers lives with his family near the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland.
