Brad Nitz

Meteorologist

Brad Nitz knows Florida weather inside and out. He should. Brad grew up in Jacksonville and earned his bachelor of science degree in meteorology from Florida State University. Brad also holds the American Meteorological Society's seal of approval for his weather broadcasts.

Brad says taking viewers through Florida's deadliest tornado outbreak in 1998 was his most memorable experience on TV. Brad has been recognized in magazines and newspapers for his non-stop coverage of the tornadoes. The Orlando Sentinel said, "WESH meteorologist Brad Nitz calmly and clearly monitored the storms, advised viewers on how to protect themselves and provided astonishing detail from the Super Doppler radar... Nitz projected when storms would reach residential areas to the minute and warned viewers who lived on specific streets."

Brad speaks to groups all over Central Florida about severe weather and hurricane preparedness.

After working at WTLV-TV in Jacksonville, he joined WESH in August 1997. Now Brad frequently looks for sunny skies so he can go surfing, wakeboarding and skiing.

Brad lives in Lake Mary with his wife, daughter, dog and two cats.
