Meteorologist On Set

When the cameras start rolling, there’s one person film and TV productions can’t do without — the meteorologist. This week on Off the Radar, host Emily Gracey is joined by The National Weather Desk’s summer intern Ben Tomfohrde to talk with Brett Zweiback, the on-set weather expert trusted to keep high-budget shoots safe when the weather turns. From hit TV shows like Stranger Things and The Walking Dead to blockbuster films like Jurassic World, Brett’s job is to make sure thunderstorms, lightning, or high winds don’t bring million-dollar days to a halt. He also shares how his skills extend beyond entertainment, as a forensic meteorologist working on legal cases and insurance investigations through his company, Spot On Weather. It’s a fascinating look at the high-stakes world of TV and film production, weather safety, and the unexpected places a career in meteorology can take you.
