Meet Kody Wilson. A 33-year-old native of the Treasure Valley in eastern Oregon and a 2008 graduate of Vale High School. During High School, Kody had the opportunity to be mentored by Vin Crosby—widely regarded as the best meteorologist in Boise, Idaho, and someone Kody still collaborates with frequently.

Kody moved to Colorado shortly after high school and attended the University of Northern Colorado—graduating in 2012 with his Bachelor of Science Degree with an emphasis in Meteorology. His passion and areas of focus are in Microscale Meteorology and Severe Weather. While in college, he sat on an exclusive forecast panel for an ABC affiliate in Denver. He also traveled every year as an undergraduate to symposiums and panel discussions hosted annually by the American Meteorological Society based in Boston, MA. His travels took him to Atlanta, Seattle, and New Orleans.

After graduating from college, he worked as a student technician for the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado. During that time, he was able to travel to St. Johns, Newfoundland, where he engaged in an aviation forecast study about the effects of freezing fog. His forecasting experience encompasses the better part of 15 years and includes experience both in the United States and Canada. In addition, Kody has actively competed in numerous forecasting competitions hosted nationwide by the American Meteorological Society and has placed above the 95th percentile for forecasters in the United States.

Kody recognized a need to provide a forecasting service to the general public that emphasized the importance of communication, honesty, and transparency. Over the last six years, Kody has amassed over 225k followers on Facebook and has partnered with over 60 local business sponsors in Idaho and Colorado who financially invest in his work.
