Andy Parker- Weather Machine

Andy Parker is an AMS Sealed Meteorologist who has worked in television for more than 15 years, with both WKBW-TV Ch.7 (ABC) and WGRZ-TV Ch.2 (NBC). His compelling live reports along with a clear and consistently accurate presentation have allowed him to represent the area nationally, by providing coverage to the Weather Channel and affiliates across the country.

Prior to working in television, Parker studied math and atmospheric physics at SUNY Brockport, where he obtained a B.S. degree in Meteorology Science.

Parker, who learned to love science in elementary school, wanted to showcase weather in a fun and educational way for kids. It became a goal to create a presentation that was totally different and could actually bring the weather into schools. He eventually mastered the challenge, and his traveling "Weather Machine" is capable of producing all types of weather, from a 7ft tornado, to snowstorms which fill an auditorium, and just about anything in between.

Parker grew up in Buffalo' s south-towns, and has traveled to experience first hand all types of weather, ranging from Caribbean hurricanes, Midwestern tornados, and familiar nor'easter coastal storms.
