Happy National Weatherperson’s Day to our very own Jeff Womack!

Today is National Weatherperson’s Day, and we are tipping our hats to those who deliver Mother Nature’s news.

We are honoring our own, who is not only a meteorologist expert, but also a second-generation broadcaster and fourth-generation farmer.

From Montana to Georgia, Jeff Womack has had a lifetime connection to weather and agriculture. Growing up on his uncle’s farm, he says haying season sparked a fascination with the weather. In kindergarten, he was already giving weather updates in class.

Jeff started his career in radio and worked at various news stations from Billings, Montana, to New Orleans. He has been honored for his coverage of tornadoes and wildfires.

Jeff says the most satisfying thing is helping people make decisions that keep them safe. Now, as part of RFD-TV, where he first dreamed of working as a kid, Jeff brings his passion for weather, farming, and country music to viewers every day.
