31st Conference on Broadcast Meteorology

Long Range Forecasting

Joseph Bastardi, AccuWeather Inc., State College, PA

Joe Bastardi has become well-known to forecast meteorologists through his columns and streaming videos available at AccuWeather.com. Especially popular are Joe's "Long Ranger" streaming video, in which he discusses his opinion of the weather trends over the next several weeks, and Joe's long-range seasonal forecast columns focusing on the upcoming hurricane and winter seasons. Also very popular among meteorologists is the AccuWeather.com streaming video "Weather Point-Counterpoint(tm)", in which Joe and AccuWeather Director of Forecast Operations Ken Reeves present their opposing viewpoints of how the weather will evolve.

Always interesting and informative, Joe will discuss the factors he considers key to forecasting weather trends in the medium to long range and present his thoughts on the current hurricane season.
