Jesse Walker Career

Walker is a Vigo County native and a West Vigo High School graduate. In 1988, he received a B.S. in Physical Geography from Indiana State University. Meteorology, climatology, oceanography, and astronomy were among the subjects he studied. In December 1985, he started working at WTWO as the weekend weather forecaster. After graduation in the summer of 1988, he took over as the morning show’s anchor and meteorologist, as well as the midday meteorologist. He was named chief meteorologist in September 1990 and has held the position ever since.

He received the National Weather Association’s Seal of Approval in 1986 and the American Meteorological Society’s Seal of Approval in 1991, making him the only TV meteorologist in Indiana to hold both seals at the same time. Jesse upgraded his AMS seal to the CBM seal in the spring of 2007. The CBM Seal of Approval replaces the AMS Seal of Approval and requires passing a comprehensive examination in theoretical and operational meteorology, forecasting, severe weather, safety information, and general science.

Jesse is particularly interested in severe weather and tornadoes, and during the spring and summer, he speaks to a variety of groups about severe weather and tornado safety. In 2011, 2012, and 2013, Jesse was named Best Weathercaster in Indiana by the Indiana Broadcasters Association. In the Terre Haute Tribune-Star Readers’ Choice Awards, Jesse Walker was named Best TV Personality in the Wabash Valley in 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and again in 2021.
