Foothills Weather Network is dedicated to keeping you safe before, during, and after the storm! Foothills Weather Network started in 2009 as a hobby between two friends that have a passion for weather forecasting. Seeing a gap in TV Market coverage across the foothills, Chris and Jason started using a personal page to forecast and track severe weather events. In 2010, following a very busy winter and severe weather season Chris and Jason quickly started looking for help to cover the weather. While doing this they developed what was then Burke Weather Incorporated. Burke Weather Incorporated became an official Non-Profit forecasting business in 2013. It still exists today and remains a Non-Profit that houses our Emergency Services Team and runs our weather education. Burke Weather Incorporated still runs solely off donations from you, the public. We brought on Tim Sawyer, Steve Wasko, Scotty Powell and Daniel Crawley to work with us. In 2015 however we decided to develop a for profit company, Foothills Weather Network. Well it was simply to be able to sell advertising and develop a way other than donations to pay the bills. Foothills Weather Network operates on a budget of a little over $1500.00 a month. Keeping our service free has been a priority since day 1. Advertisements allows us to provide you life saving weather information without costing you a dime. Contact Chris White at [email protected] to get more information on how to advertise. Today we also have interns that work with us from various universities across The State of North Carolina. These interns have went on to work at Accu Weather and other weather companies, including The National Weather Service, across the USA. We have also brought on Sinead Lockhart, who graduated from NC State with her degree in Atmospheric Science. In May 2017 Foothills Weather Network moved into it's new office within the McDowell County Emergency Operations Center. From this state of the art EOC, Foothills Weather Network can have direct contact during severe weather situations with our partners at The National Weather Service and Emergency Management from across the state. We continue to grow and expand! Be sure to download our free weather app today! We appreciate the support that each of our followers give us daily. We enjoy our jobs and we look forward to serving you for many years to come.
