Where's Mike?

 

When weather events were in the news across the USA Salisbury native Mike Seidel was often the go-to meteorologist reporting on the scene for The Weather Channel.  Mike's tenure there has ended and he's looking forward to new weather horizons in his future.

After an incredible 32+ years at TWC, I'm embarking on a new journey due to company restructuring. I'm immensely grateful to all of you who've been part of this amazing ride!

As hurricane season approaches, I can't wait to reconnect on another network.
