(FB 1-13-25) Remember writing your outlines for a book report in high school?
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

I was missing you the last couple of weeks with the weather when you and Shannon alternated. I understand the need for change and hopefully you’ll find what you’re looking for. You did a great job! I can’t imagine how ‘y’all do it! Keep us updated as to what you’re doing. Thanks

I just stopped watching channel 4.
Sorry to see you go, you were the only one that consistently got it right.
Just bummed.

Hope no other heads roll on KOMO. I really enjoyed both of our meteorologists on channel 4. What’s up with that!

I missed seeing you the past few days you Rebecca! I had to look up why you were no longer on Komo.
I wish you the very best in your next endeavor!
Sunny skies ahead for you.

She is a great weather person. Very personable and great at what she does. Would hope KOMO would have had the sense to keep her.

We really will miss you Rebecca. I remember meeting you at the Mecca cafe where you shared your dream of working in television. I’ve followed your career ever since and rejoice in your success. Please keep your fans informed of the new horizons and good luck.

Good luck on your next journey. But, I’ve watched you for all the time you’ve been in Seattle and so enjoyed watching you on KOMO. Your forecasts were always so informative, and I loved your interactions with the staff….especially some of your guesses on the Komo Question! Gonna miss you! Don’t be a stranger!

Sorry to see Rebecca go. My husband and I thought she had finally found a great match being on Komo. She had gotten very comfortable in front of the camera and was doing such a good job. Wow, really shocked to hear this one.
On a brighter note, happy to see Theron Zahn back on the weekend desk in the morning, both days. Will keep my fingers crossed this is not just another fluke for the last weekend.

The new KOMO news director begins his cuts
FYI • January 14, 2025
She probably saw the writing on the wall, heard of new KOMO ND Neerman’s reputation and bailed.

There is a real possibility that she will set her sights on a station outside our market…stay tuned.
