Everyone please welcome Saline County’s own Jace Thompson to the MySaline Weather Team. He’s got a great handle on the weather at age 12 (almost 13) and he wants to be a meteorologist when he grows up.
You’ll be seeing his observations here and on Facebook, and we’re proud to have him. See his forecast below, and you can also see his first video forecast that we published on the MySaline Facebook page.
See below for Tuesday’s forecast and the 📺video from last night.
