Comments (0) Best Meteorologist - 2012

Ken Waters, National Weather Service

We aren't giving this guy the nod for best weather guy simply because he's got the most awesome name we've heard for a weatherman in the desert. Ken Waters has a cool title, too: warning coordination meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Phoenix. He collects and interprets data from satellites and radar that allows him to predict when the next haboob is rolling into town. Waters studied weather for years before taking this job; he also served in the U.S. Air Force as a "weather officer." See a video of Waters in action.
