Matt Chambers: February 2007 Archives


It's Been a Long Time...

9:44 AM Thu, Feb 22, 2007 |

Hi everyone... Matt here in the weather center Thursday morning preparing for today's Noon newscast.

It's been a long time since we've had to think about severe thunderstorms, but spring (which is our peak season for strong thunder-boomers) begins in less than a month! In fact, now might be a good time to brush up on your severe weather safety plans at home, school, work, and everywhere inbetween.

Here's why...

Snowfall Totals

8:09 AM Wed, Feb 14, 2007 |

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Warm hearts -- cold air... that's today's forecast in a nutshell. Afternoon temperatures will struggle to climb after a very chilly start this morning, but at least our snow storm is a thing of the past.

As usual, Tuesday's snowfall accumulations varied quite a bit depending on your specific location.

We pull our hair out over issues as simple as a degree or two when forecasting a high temperature, and issues as complex as forecas...



Strange Lights in the Sky Sunday Night

7:53 AM Mon, Feb 05, 2007 |

Reports ranged from "bright lights" to "something burning with a flaming tail". So, what were those objects in the sky Sunday night?!?

While most eyes were glued to the soggy SuperBowl right here on News4, some skywacthers and drivers were treated to a rare astronomical display. Apparently, a meteor (or perhaps several) streaked across the sky over the bi-state area Sunday evening. There are some reports that pieces of thes...



So... What's With the Groundhog?

7:01 AM Fri, Feb 02, 2007 |

Happy Groundhog Day!!!

But... honestly...

How on Earth did it come to this? Who decided that the best way to create a late winter prognostication was be to pull a groundhog out of a tree stump in Pennsylvania?
