Gary Archibald, Weathercaster

I hope that you enjoyed your Memorial Day long weekend!

So it’s back into the fold we go here at NBC Weather Plus… Speaking of which, I had previously written a blog about the merry band of weather nuts we collectively have working here to provide you with comprehensive and accurate weather forecast news and information – the Weather Plus storytellers! I affectionately referred to them as “The Saturday Crew”. We work the weekends, hence the fitting name. Now lets take a look at “The Midday Crew” with photos taken impromptu (by yours truly) today… It’s another great group of pros that I have the pleasure of working with day in and day out.

I like taking self-portraits with the gang here…it’s one of the things I like to do with cameras…Check it out.

First up – the lovely and talented Lily West (whose birthday happens to be today – HAPPY BIRTHDAY LILY!) She’s THE executive assistant to our boss, the esteemed Dan Abrams (attorney and star media personality extraordinaire).

Next up we have meteorologists Kevin Maloney and Mike Carloni – the young guns behind the scenes who do such a great job with the national forecast.

Some of our personalities (photos with me) include the beautiful and talented Jackie Meretsky (Jackie and I go way back…literally and figuratively…we co-hosted together for THE WEATHER NETWORK – Canada’s equivalent to The Weather Channel here in the USA… Who would have thought that a few years later we would be teamed up again, in NYC! It’s great to be reunited with a good friend and colleague!!)

Jeff Ranieri…what can be said about this gentleman. He’s a star through and through. He looks like a Hollywood actor, anchors the weather for the Today Show…he’s funny as heck too. Jeff and I tag team the afternoons on Weather Plus. He’s a dynamite meteorologist and a real pro. It’s a pleasure working with him.

Byron Miranda is new to our team here at Weather Plus but not a stranger to the airwaves with loads of experience. He’s as polished as they come – a meteorologist who is razor sharp, smart, and has that great smooth delivery. Anyone on-camera can learn a lot from Byron. He has an infectious laugh too. What a great guy. We are very fortunate to have him on assignment with us!

Working the web today is Keith Davis – he’s in charge and always on top of it. Another rock solid team-player who works his magic behind the scenes, always calm, collected, understated, diligent… Just a real pro.

Another great group of individual who comprise the team here at Weather Plus. I hope you liked the look behind the scenes.

Cheers!
