I’ve been with NEWSCHANNEL 13 and the STORMTRACKER 13 team since March of 2008 and still find Colorado’s weather completely amazing! After spending the first 5 years of my television career forecasting Ohio weather, I felt ready for a new challenge and have found it here in southern Colorado.

I was born in Pittsburgh but grew up in Columbus, Ohio. After graduating Summa Cum Laude from Ohio University, studying both meteorology and journalism, I landed my first TV job at WLIO in Lima, Ohio. I did everything there from forecasting to reporting to anchoring and producing. I received several awards for my work in Lima including Best Weather (AP, small market), Best Reporter in Ohio (AP, small market) and Best Investigative Report (AP, small market). While handling several positions in Ohio was fun, I realized forecasting weather was my greatest passion and made the move to the STORMTRACKER 13 team to forecast with southern Colorado’s best meteorologists.

My hobbies include playing and watching soccer, rooting for Pittsburgh sports teams, playing guitar and hanging out with my wife, Abby. I enjoy hearing from our viewers so send me an email at j.poland@krdo.com.
