Luke Vickery

Luke Vickery found a passion for weather after realizing school could get canceled based on a severe weather forecast. Growing up near Kansas City, Missouri, he is no stranger to various weather seen throughout all four seasons in the Midwest.

Luke gained two degrees from Arizona State University: A Bachelors of Science degree in Geography (Meteorology-Climatology) and a Bachelors of Arts degree in Journalism and Mass Communication. There he spent time at Cronkite News during his final three semesters, on the campus news station. After his junior year he interned at KMBC, KETV’s sister station in Kansas City, Missouri, and gained a good understanding of Midwest weather.

When Luke is not paying attention to the weather he enjoys training for endurance sports. Whether he’s training for an olympic triathlon or a marathon Luke enjoys his time outdoors building his fitness. Being from Kansas City, Luke is very passionate about his Kansas City Chiefs and the Kansas City Royals. Luke also enjoys playing chef in the kitchen, whether it’s cooking his favorite Italian dishes or making homemade pancakes.
