Carson Meredith Education

Carson Meredith Career

Meredith previously worked for WAAY-TV as a weekday morning meteorologist from September 2021 to January 2023. Before that role, he served the station as an interim chief meteorologist for 8 months. He joined the station in July 2019 as a weekend meteorologist.

Meredith has been fascinated with the weather for as long as he can remember. He’s seen everything the South has to offer in terms of extreme weather. An ice storm that ravaged Kentucky in the month of January, the year 2009, was one of Meredith’s most noteworthy meteorological events. After the storm, his family was without power (and without heat in their home) for 5 days. Meredith recalls hearing about some households in the state’s rural areas that were without power for about 1 month.

Meredith has always been interested in current events, in addition to the weather. He used to watch the news virtually every night while he was in primary school. So it’s no surprise that broadcast meteorology has long piqued his curiosity. On the other hand, he never seriously considered it as a vocation until his freshman year in high school. A tornado slammed through Henryville, Indiana, a small town about 20 miles north of Louisville, on the 2nd of March, 2012. He’ll never forget seeing the aftermath of the tornado and the havoc it caused on the news that day. He decided to become a meteorologist on that day.
