They started with a TITLE followed by
A.) Subsets of the plot, broken into points describing the
1. Foreshadowing,
2. The imagery, and
3. The symbolism, in the story.
Then the topics are simplified further with
a. point of view,
b. the conflict, and
c. summary of characters.
I’ve written an outline of my 20+ years working as a broadcast meteorologist that includes all of these literary devices (and more…).
For me, the most enjoyable part to write may be the character descriptions and the plot analysis.
However, as much as I have relished my chapters of atmospheric education and mastering the build of my own weather forecasts from numerical models,
I am making a stealthy departure in the next chapter.
In my conclusion, I am no longer presenting on a local tv station, delivering my weather stories to you daily. I am working on the location for my new chapter about a different angle in my career. I don’t have it yet. I’m looking, researching, and applying.
Currently, my toes are in the cold, wet grass of Seattle while my hands are reaching through the cloud outlines and every layer of earth’s atmosphere while grasping for the stars.
I promise to update you on my progress. Please keep me in your most positive thoughts while I find a new job for a new chapter. #outlook #science #career

My husband and I thought like some of the above comments that Rebecca was on vacation. I was about to call the station, I was that concerned. We loved watching your sweet style Rebecca. Since Steve Poole left KOMO it's been a downhill plunge other than Shannon. You two seemed to like each other.
The first time I saw Rebecca she was in the Everett 4th of July parade. She is still as lovely now as she was then. I've always watched her over the years. I will miss her a lot and would change channels if not for Mary and Shannon. Good luck Rebecca !
I think Rebecca made a wise decision to seek a new position. Her delivery of the weather news always made me cringe. I know there’s a perfect job out there that will totally match her skills. I wish her the best in finding it.
Breathing/voice issues/gasping for breath at end of the sentence, but a classy dresser & lovely smile!
Prayers!
This is so passive aggressive it's not even funny. The top part of your comment snuffs out the lower "kinder" part significantly
Will REALLY miss that smile, it makes me smile. Best of luck to you and hope to see you again whatever you do.
Rebecca, I saw you arrive at KIRO as Chief Meteorologist, taking the reigns from Andy Wappler, and depart with Julie Francavilla and Jenny Hogan, no notice to viewers. KIRO has had numerous exits over the years, and I've heard their Program Director is difficult to work with. Julie and Jenny never returned to local broadcasting, but you did. Moved to Aljazeera weather in Chicago for a stint, then back to the PNW at KCPQ for another stint, and had some longevity with KOMO. We didn't get too personal this time as with KIRO, no more Rainier cherries. Love is hard. Good luck.
my wife and I really enjoyed watching she and Michelle on the weekend They were great joking and interacting with each other. Rebecca was so accurate in the weather , when she said showers would clear up and sunshine would be here at noon the sun would be shining at noon. She will be sorely missed.
I've been googeling you for weeks Rebecca. My dad and I always looked forward to your presentation and interactions with the other anchors. We sure do miss you! I'm glad to finally know whats up with you. Best wishes with your job hunt! And only positive vibes for your future!
Sure miss you, Rebecca. Of course we wonder why you left. We’ve appreciated you, your expertise, even your fashion style. It was clear you wanted to do your best in every way for those of us inviting you/KOMO into our homes. Hope you will let us know where we can find you next.
Rebecca you were awesome and professional. We missed you right away. Really right away.
Go forth and shine!
So sad to see her go, will miss
