Peta Sheerwood

Meteorologist

Growing up in South Florida, Peta Sherwood was intrigued by the ever-changing weather, including sea breeze storms and the development of tropical systems.

Her passion for weather storytelling grew, leading her to gain a Bachelor of Science in Telecommunication News with a minor in Geography from the University of Florida while obtaining a certificate in Meteorology and Climatology. She then received her Master of Science in Geoscience from Mississippi State University. 

Her journey took her far from the familiar coast of Miami to the heart of the Midwest – Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska. Treading into a new world of blizzards and braving severe storms, including tornadoes, Peta gained an in-depth understanding of convective complex storm systems. Peta then worked with WRAL News in Raleigh, North Carolina. The active weather patterns across the South provided new experiences, including tracking hurricanes.

Peta is eager to share her knowledge with the community that shaped her into the meteorologist she is today.
