Herb Stevens has spent much of his professional career on the “road less traveled”. After graduating from The Pennsylvania State University in 1975, Herb elected to see the world as a caddy on the PGA Tour for five years before launching his career as a meteorologist. After one year at WJAR-TV in Providence, RI, Herb became one of the original on-camera meteorologists at The Weather Channel. A year and a half later, he became the Chief Meteorologist at WNYT-TV in Albany, NY. As part of his duties at WNYT, Herb pioneered a weekly on-snow ski report, which in 1988 became his full-time job, The Skiing Weatherman.

The Skiing Weatherman is still Herb’s primary focus, reaching 32 markets and approximately 22 million viewers on a weekly basis. In addition to the weekly television report, Herb writes twice-weekly weather summaries for his own web site, www.skiingweatherman.com, as well as www.snocountry.com and the web site of the Ski Areas of New York. Along the way, he has also racked up an interesting series of other broadcasting credits, including LPGA and PGA play-by-play on ESPN, The Golf Channel, PGA TOUR Radio, and PGA TOUR.com. In addition, Herb was part of TNT’s coverage team at the 1999 Winter Goodwill Games in Lake Placid, NY, and was the feature reporter and interviewer for CBS’s coverage of the 1997 World Nordic Ski Championships in Norway. In September of 2004, Herb launched a nationally syndicated radio talk show about, what else, the weather! Look for Real Weather USA, coming soon to a market near you.

An avid golfer, Herb qualified for the 1998 U.S. Amateur Championship, and also played in the 1999, 2000, and 2001 British Amateur Championships. He also won the 1994 Rhode Island Mid-Amateur Championship.

Herb is married with two children, and lives in North Kingstown, Rhode Island.
