SUMMARY:Meet a Meteorologist
DESCRIPTION:Grab a beer and get your questions ready for our “Meet a Meteorologist” event with KETV NewsWatch 7’s very own Caitlin Harvey. \nCaitlin will be at Site-1 Brewing (Farnam location) on April 25 at 7pm to talk about her education\, work and all things weather at this free event. After Caitlin’s talk\, you will have the chance to have all your weather and meteorology questions answered by the expert. \nCaitlin Harvey is a Meteorologist with KETV NewsWatch 7 in Omaha. Growing up just outside of Kansas City\, Missouri\, Caitlin is no stranger to severe weather and dramatic temperature changes. Her earliest weather memory came at the age of 4\, when a tornado warning forced her family outside into the storm cellar. Though no damage came from the warning\, that memory sparked a fascination and passion for weather and to learn what caused such severe weather. \nCaitlin attended the University of Missouri in Columbia and earned a degree in Soil\, Environmental and Atmospheric Sciences – with an emphasis in Atmospheric Science\, in 2016. Caitlin interned with NBC affiliate KOMU and went on to work at KMIZ in Columbia\, Missouri and KDRV in Medford\, Oregon. \nOutside of work\, Caitlin is part of a proud “geek” family. She is happily married to her husband\, Skip\, a comic book creator and artist\, and a proud pet parent to Starbuck\, Maeby\, Gerbie\, and Noodle. She enjoys swimming\, water skiing\, sailing\, cosplay and karaoke. \nThis event is all ages\, and FREE\, though a ticket is required due to space capacity. Reserve your tickets here. \n
