It goes without saying that I have been blessed with a really great son. I also have an outstanding nephew. My sister and her husband did a great job of raising two fine sons. I am real proud to be David Bernard’s uncle and I am very proud of all he has accomplished. David is the Chief Meteorologist for Miami’s CBS television station.
From CBS4: ABOUT DAVID BERNARD
David Bernard is CBS4 News' Chief Meteorologist and Storm Specialist. He is seen on CBS4 News Monday through Friday at 5, 6, and 11 PM. He is a Certified Broadcast Meteorologist (CBM), an accreditation awarded by the American Meteorological Society. The CBM requires successful completion of a very comprehensive examination on theoretical meteorology, operational meteorology, forecasting, and general science.
Bernard joined the CBS4 News Team in August 2005, arriving from WWL/Channel 4 in New Orleans, just six weeks before Hurricane Katrina hit South Florida and devastated his former home in Louisiana.
He is no stranger to hurricanes having forecasted in one of the most active hurricane zones in the country for a decade. Widely heralded by the local press, he was called "… the welcome calm in the eye of this storm" by the Times-Picayune following New Orleans' close brush with Hurricane Ivan in September 2004. The paper went on to say, "Build a better New Orleans TV weatherman and he'll look a lot like David Bernard did during Ivan."
He brought that same steady voice to South Florida during the extremely active 2005 hurricane season that featured Katrina, Rita and Wilma.
Prior to New Orleans, he held meteorologist positions at KJRH in Tulsa, Oklahoma; KVII, Amarillo, Texas and KZTV, Corpus Christi, Texas.
Bernard is a former member of the American Meteorological Society's Board of Broadcast Meteorology. In addition, he retains the Society's AMS Seal of Approval. He also has the professional broadcasting certification from the National Weather Association.
Bernard holds a degree in Broadcast Meteorology from Mississippi State University. He graduated from the University of Texas with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and a concentration in Climatology and Broadcast Journalism. He was born and raised in Houston, Texas.
