    Weekend and Weather Plus Meteorologist

    Meteorologist Tim Tender uses his meteorology education from Mississippi State University and his communication skills from Robert Morris University to bring an accurate, staight-forward, and easy-to-understand forecast to the Alleghenies.

    Tim Tender comes to WJAC-TV from Burgettstown, Pennsylvania, which is about 25 minutes southwest of Pittsburgh. He graduated from Burgettstown High School in 2000 and later attended Robert Morris University. At Robert Morris, Tim graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Communications in 2004. He also played an active role in the Academic Media Center at RMU, working as the Weather Producer, Weather Anchor, and even served as News Producer during his final semester.

    When he is not delivering the weather, Tim enjoys playing ice hockey. Playing since 1999, he has played every position, except goalie, and has been a captain of an adult league team and a coach for a youth hockey team. While not on the ice, Tim also likes to watch television, hang out with friends, play video games, and surf the 'net.

    He is also a big fan of Pittsburgh sports teams, especially the Pittsburgh Penguins.

    Tim is now a certified meteorologist, having finished the Broadcast Meteorology Program through Mississippi State University in August of 2007.

    More Details

    Road Weather Information is available on WJAC-TV. Check out the Severe Weather Team Blog for the details.

    Saturday: Lake effect snow will end from south to north as the day wears on. Look for more sunshine in the afternoon but it will stay cold.

    L. Highlands:
    Mid 20s
    E. Alleghenies:
    Near 30
    N. Alleghenies:
    Around 25

    Sunday: This will be the pick of the weekend if you want some sunshine. It will be milder, but still well below average.

    L. Highlands:
    Low to Mid 30s
    E. Alleghenies:
    Mid to Upper 30s
    N. Alleghenies:
    Low 30s

    Monday: Our break from the snow comes to an end with another cold front moving through.

    L. Highlands:
    Around 35.
    E. Alleghenies:
    Mid to Upper 30s
    N. Alleghenies:
    Mid 30s

    Long Term: Tuesday could end up being a fairly snowy day, especially in the Laurels and Northern Alleghenies on the back side of low pressure on the east coast. Snow from that system plus some lake effect thrown in will certainly cause some accumulations. We'll update you throughout the weekend, as next week is a huge travel week!
