Happy Monday and welcome to another edition of the Beyond The Forecast!
Typically, we use this weekly newsletter to explain current weather phenomena; however, this week will be a little different!
We’re starting a mini-series and we’re taking you behind the scenes with the four meteorologists who make up Your Local Weather Authority.
Jeff, Chris, Delaney and I will talk about our backgrounds in meteorology and what led us to Roanoke and WSLS 10.
First up, Chris Michaels. Take it away Chris!

ROANOKE, Va. –
Shortly after 5:49 a.m., as Your Local Weather Authority tweeted about Thursday (see below), many in southwest and central Virginia could see the vapor trail left behind by the launch.
Be sure to look to the southeast early Friday morning (preferably at a higher vantage point)! We could see the vapor trails from the Space X rocket launch here in Virginia. pic.twitter.com/AdB8b2bNZo Chris Michaels (@WSLS Michaels) April 22, 2021
