JYM GANAHL
Jym Ganahl is the Chief Meteorologist
for NBC 4 in Columbus, Ohio. He has
been on television presenting information
on weather for 43 years. He is in the
Associated Press Broadcasting Hall of
Fame.
Jym came to NBC 4 in 1979, after serving
for 12 years as weather anchor for KWWLTV in Waterloo, Iowa. A native of Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, Jym attended the University
of Northern Iowa and earned degrees in
math, speech and climatology.
Jym's career began at age 17 when he
became the youngest weather forecaster
in the country. In 1970, Jym became the
youngest person ever to be granted the
American Meteorologist Society Seal of
Approval. The AMS seal is the highest
honor a weather forecaster can receive
from his peers.
Long before Jym had a love of weather,
he had a love of trains. As a kid, he would
run to greet the California Zephyr every
day as it rolled through Burlington, Iowa.
He even has a running model of this exact
train, and every floor of his house has
trains.
Jym has previously hosted the Great
California Train Adventure and invites
NBC4 viewers to join him on this fabulous
adventure to the Canadian Rockies.
