JOINS WXXV NEWS 25 WEATHER AUTHORITY
The WXXV News 25 Weather Authority Team has a new addition: Meteorologist Brantly Keiek. A native of the Gulf Coast, Keiek comes to South Mississippi from Pensacola, Florida.
Keiek’s passion for weather can be traced back to active hurricane seasons during his childhood. His interest in meteorology peaked when his hometown experienced back-to-back hurricane landfalls in 2004 and 2005. His desire to learn about the atmosphere led him to study at Florida State University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Meteorology and a minor in Mathematics. Prior to graduating, Keiek also completed a year-long internship at WEAR-TV in Northwest Florida.
Keiek enjoys the beach and looks forward
to spending time on the Coast. He was a competitive swimmer for nearly 10 years and loves water sports. While in Pensacola, Keiek was a beach lifeguard for several years where he performed over 100 water rescues.
Catch his Weather Authority Forecast weekdays on “News 25 at Noon” on NBC 25 and Sunday nights at 9 p.m. on FOX 25 and 10 p.m. on NBC 25.
