Lincoln National Weather Service Warning Coordination Meteorologst Retires

Listeners to Regional Radio News have grown accustomed to hearing Chris Miller at the National Weather Service in Lincoln provide updates on all things central Illinois weather.

 

Last Friday, Miller left the Lincoln National Weather Service office for the final time and reflected on at 30-plus year career in meteorology. Miller hopes to increase his volunteering at his church in Lincoln as well as do something he's rarely had the time for - storm chasing.

 

 

Miller indicates weather has always been something that's piqued his interest. He recalls his fascination with weather from a young age and telling his parents he wanted to be a weatherman.

 

 

Miller's journey to central Illinois started in his home state of Wisconsin. While he interned at a TV station, Miller knew he didn't want to do TV but the network he created allowed him to start in Illinois.

 

 

Miller intended to end up back in Wisconsin or Minnesota but met his wife who is a central Illinois native, and never left. 

 

He calls it an amazing career and has found Illinois weather to not only be fascinating but as the saying goes, wait a day and it'll change.
