Meteorologist Blake Smith is the newest addition to the KAKEland WeatherPlex, joining the team in December 2007.
Blake is designated as a Certified Broadcast Meteorologist™ by the American Meteorological Society®. Before being superseded by the CBM™, he was awarded the Television Seal of Approval from the American Meteorological Society®. He was also honored in 2004 as “Best Weatherperson” by the Wyoming Association of Broadcasters.
He came to KAKE from Topeka, where he spent two years as the morning meteorologist for KTKA-TV. He also worked as a weekend meteorologist for WBNG-TV in Binghamton, New York. Blake’s career started in 2002 as the morning meteorologist KTWO-TV in Casper, Wyoming.
Coming to Wichita was an easy decision. Blake is a native Kansan, with family just up the turnpike in Osage County. He graduated from the University of Arizona with a BS in atmospheric science with journalism minor.
In his spare time, Blake enjoys traveling around the world. He’s most recently explored China, and backpacked around Europe in college. When Blake’s not traveling, he enjoys running and playing with his cute Beagle “Nash”. While working in Casper, Blake ran a marathon, though he prefers shorter distances these days.
You can watch Blake weekend evenings on KAKE.
