Ron Rhodes is an Owensboro, Kentucky
native, so he knows just how challenging predicting Tri-State weather can be.
He graduated from Western Kentucky University, and he earned his meteorology
degree from Mississippi State. He was awarded the National Weather Association
Seal of Approval in 1995.
Ron prides himself on keeping a high (usually 90%) accuracy rate for his
forecasts.
“That’s the best part of my job,” he said. “It’s the challenge
of getting a good hold on the ever-changing weather here. Sometimes it’s hard
to hit that 3 Degree Guarantee, especially in the spring and fall.”
Ron is often amused by the mail he receives from viewers, particularly the
notes poking fun at unforeseen weather that catches him, and the Tri-State,
off-guard. “I don’t like missing a forecast,” Ron said. “But I
always enjoy a good laugh!”
Ron enjoys spending time wife his wife, Marcia, and their son, Jordan.
