Since he started forecasting the weather in the 1950s, AccuWeather Founder, Chairman and CEO Dr. Joel Myers has witnessed profound progress in the ability of the American Weather Enterprise to provide more specific, more accurate and more useful weather forecasts, warnings, and data, and communicating these with increasing value, thereby saving countless lives, enhancing the national and global economy, and improving the quality of life of billions of people.
