I can’t believe June is almost here..let alone the official start of the Atlantic/Caribbean hurricane season.
It kicks off June first, and we are already seeing the signs that the upper level steering winds are beginning to transition across the Gulf from a cool weather season pattern to a warm season pattern. In fact, North Texas [...]

I’m so thankful for all the calls and emails from viewers and friends since it was announced I was leaving CBS11. The past few days have been a blur.

After 7 years at KTVT-TV…it’s time to go.
I am writing this today, my last day on the air at KTVT.
