AMS Certified Broadcast Meteorologist


Education:

Pennsylvania State University

- Bachelor of Science, Meteorology


Meteorologist Jared Plushnick joined the TV5 team in June of 2009. He earned his degree in meteorology from Penn State, the land where the Nittany Lion roars. Before moving up to Bangor, Jared interned at WUSA and WJLA in Washington DC, as well as at WTAJ in Altoona, and KOCO in Oklahoma City. Additionally, before coming to TV5 Jared broadcasted weather forecasts for AccuWeather Inc.

Jared’s love for weather began when he was a kid while his sister played dead while baby-sitting him during a “monstrous” thunderstorm. Though Jared’s fear of Mother Nature’s percussions remain with him, he still loves to keep an eye to the changing phenomenon in the sky.  

Outside of forecasting, Jared enjoys playing golf, root for the Orioles (sorry Sox fans), hang with friends, hit up concerts, and listen to the Foo Fighters.

Personal Comment:
I am very excited to be up here in Maine; the family here at WABI TV5 opened their arms upon my arrival and has been wonderful. This part of the country is beautiful, and I know I will have a great time.
