Around 10 p.m., an uncommon yet extremely destructive “derecho” formed over Northern Iowa and Southern Minnesota. With gusts of above 100 mph, this line proceeded eastward into western Wisconsin. The strength of this line didn’t fade until it reached eastern Michigan early the next morning. In the weather office, it had been a long night. In 2003, Slifka relocated to Austin to work at KVUE-TV as a weekend morning meteorologist.

He has worked at KEYE-TV on and off since then and freelanced at KTBC-TV before joining the TWC News Weather on the 1s Team. Weather, sports, and leading an active lifestyle are all things that he enjoys. Kelly frequently plays beach volleyball and commutes by bicycle.
