The return of J-P Dice to WBRC will bring the station’s total number of meteorologists to seven, making the team the largest and most experienced weather department in the state of Alabama and the entire Southeast region, according to the station.
Gray’s WBRC Fox6 News in Birmingham Ala., brings back its former chief meteorologist, J-P Dice, in a new role as a meteorologist supporting First Alert Chief Meteorologist Wes Wyatt and the First Alert Weather team.
“J-P is a tremendous asset to our community, and his familiarity with the market and our viewers is one of the many reasons why joining forces again was an easy decision,” says Collin R. Gaston, WBRC’s GM. “His passion for weather and many years of experience will undoubtedly keep audiences informed and safe through some of the most unpredictable and diverse weather in the country.”
Dice’s return to the WBRC First Alert Weather team will bring the station’s total number of meteorologists to seven, making the team the largest and most experienced weather department in the state of Alabama and the entire Southeast region, according to the station.
“J-P is a veteran meteorologist who knows the changing dynamics and dangers of Alabama weather,” says Shannon Isbell, WBRC’s news director. “He excels in accurate forecasting, as well as severe weather coverage. I look forward to having him, Wes, and the other members of the First Alert Weather team draw on their many years of experience to keep us safe and prepared.”
Dice will continue working as a full-time corporate pilot, while his primary duties at WBRC will include forecasting for WBRC’s First Alert Weather app, which is updated regularly by the station’s team of meteorologists, as well as weather updates to WBRC’s website, social media, and streaming platforms, including First Alert Weather Extra. Additionally, Dice will assist Chief Meteorologist Wes Wyatt on the broadcast side by lending his years of experience and expertise during severe weather events.
“As Chief Meteorologist for WBRC, my mission is to provide the most timely, accurate and informative weather coverage, and if anyone understands this mission, it’s J-P,” says Wes Wyatt. “We worked side-by-side delivering critical information to help keep our viewers and their families safe for more than a decade, so I’m excited to have him once again contributing to our team in this new capacity.”
