Since I was little, because the sky was cloudy, there were some boys who went to catch frogs. No Bob Turk, he got rain. Turk built a rain pit and a system to measure precipitation, according to his mother. It was “fun” to gather the information, he said, and he never knew he would find himself on the big screen.
Today, as Baltimore’s most esteemed weatherman, it’s always pleasant and part of his regular routine that individual viewers rely on the WJZ weather forecasts during the weekday nightly news.
As the first Baltimore television station to have more advanced weather forecasting equipment, Turk helped the WJZ weather team choose the Doppler radar weather system known as First Warning Weather and put the station further on the map. First Warning Weather’s local live Doppler radar helps the weather team monitor rain and storms from neighborhood to neighborhood.
Bob came to be known as the Sunshine Kid due to his long time in the WNZ. In the 1970s, he joined the network and also won a Silver Circle Emmy Award for his lengthy work on the WJZ.
