About the Author:

Josh Judge ( joshjudge.com ) is a meteorologist at WMUR-TV in Manchester, New Hampshire. His forecasts reach over 670,500 people in New Hampshire and surrounding states. Judge joined the station as a part-time employee in April 2001, while he also worked on-air at WHDH-TV in Boston, and WGME-TV in Portland, Maine. He became full-time at WMUR in 2003. He received the CBM seal (Certified Broadcast Meteorologist from the AMS) in 2006, and was among the first few in New England to get it. Judge got into broadcasting when he was 12 years old and by the time he was in his senior year of high school, he already had his own radio show. While in college, he worked in Boston radio as a DJ and a helicopter traffic reporter. He then spent eight years hosting a radio morning show on New Hampshire's Seacoast 102 WZEA-FM (where he won the New Hampshire Association of Broadcasters' Air Personality of the Year award in 1993) and later on Arrow 105.3 FM. After that, Judge returned to college to learn about weather forecasting and meteorology. Judge was voted Best TV Weathercaster in the New Hampshire Magazine readers poll in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 and has received several other awards as well, including the 2008 Golden Mike Award from the NH Association of Broadcasters. He released a new book in November of 2010, called Extreme New England Weather. The book profiles New England's strong storms and past historical accounts of many of the area's biggest storms. It also features contributions from over 15 of New England's well known television meteorologists, a chapter written by the staff of the Mount Washington Observatory, and hundreds of pictures. In 2009, he wrote a children's book with Kathe Cussen about weather, titled Weather Facts and Fun. Josh, his wife, Donna, their son, Adam, and adopted daughter Adelina live in southern New Hampshire.
