Weather coverage
Hurricanes · Tropical · High-impact days
Clear, calm coverage when hurricanes and high-impact weather lead the newscast.
From early tropical outlooks to landfall and aftermath, Rob’s focus is simple:
track, timing, impacts, and what viewers need to do — in plain language.
Coverage philosophy
Big weather days are noisy. Rob’s approach is to cut through that noise with calm, direct communication — never overselling, never underplaying the risk.
- Lead with what the storm means for people, not just what the radar shows.
- Translate cones, model spread, and guidance into clear next steps.
- Keep tone steady, even when the weather isn’t.
Hurricane & tropical workflow
Rob has covered storms from the first invest to landfall and beyond — both on-air and in the field. The workflow focuses on consistency and impact at each stage:
- Early outlooks: explaining patterns, sea-surface temperatures, and model trends without hype.
- Watch/warning phase: track, timing, surge, rainfall, and wind impacts broken down by region.
- Landfall & aftermath: live coverage, field reporting, and post-event recaps that help viewers understand what happened — and what comes next.
Severe weather & high-impact days
Not every high-impact day is tropical. Rob also focuses on severe thunderstorms, flooding events, and pattern-driven high-impact setups.
- Wall-to-wall severe thunderstorm and tornado coverage.
- Frequent updates during flash-flood and coastal-flood events.
- Explainers on risk categories, outlooks, and what they mean locally.
