to know and trust Adam in his eight years and counting with the weather authority.”

From the devastating 2012 floods to ice storms, Lorch has forecasted all sorts of

weather events across the Northland.

I've covered everything from derechos and flooding to blizzards and ice storms. The

weather here can change in an instant and that’s why I love forecasting here.”
