KSAT-Tv has named a new ten p.m. weathercaster to replace veteran Steve Browne who, after 26 years at the station, retires from the job early next month.

Following Browne's last 24-hour interval, June 6, Adam Caskey, who currently delivers the 5 and 6 p.m. KSAT weather, will add the signature ten p.chiliad. hour to his duties, KSAT announced.

"I'm extremely excited," Caskey, 37, said in a phone chat today. "It's hard to follow a guy like Steve Browne. I've learned a lot from him, and he's been very helpful to me — so I think that will make for a smoothen transition."

Similar to his predecessor, the station's new chief meteorologist likewise has a few tricks up his sleeve to help people smile during the weather.

While Browne entertained with his nationally recognized "human tuba" routine at Christmas, forth with his vegetable garden and critter cam, Caskey channels his inner nerd.

The Minnesota native has go famous across the country for his many kitschy handmade thermometers geared to every occasion.

"They're 100 percent handmade — from blowing the glass to filling it with alcohol to sealing it, calibrating it and making a calibration to doing the woodworking for the final mount," Caskey said in an earlier interview.

He as well possesses an infectious smile and is super-friendly with anyone who crosses his path. During Fiesta, Caskey brings out his other non-so-clandestine weapon — the confetti canon — which, during parades and other events, he uses to spray the crowd with the festive stuff.

San Antonio, after all, loves Idiot box forecasters with that extra "something" — the colorful asides that bring levity or homo interest to newscasts.

For instance, when San Antonio experienced a fluke snowfall in December, Caskey and boyfriend KSATers displayed photos of snowmen dressed in all kinds of crazy getups.

1 reason Browne, after all these years, has remained dear to viewers is he not only knows the weather, but is practiced at keeping people grinning.

"He makes television. He understands what it's all about," his longtime station colleague, sportscaster Greg Simmons, said in a recent online interview that was conducted past ballast Steve Spriester.

"I just have a weird listen," Browne joked.

Caskey, who's married with three kids, ages three, 7 and ix, promises to bring new fun to the late news hr when circumstances call for it.

"Things proceed coming up," Caskey said. "And y'all take fun with them, you take reward of the state of affairs."

On a more than serious note, Caskey also brings plenty of meteorological knowledge and feel to the master atmospheric condition position.

Later on completing a degree in meteorology at the University of North Dakota, he landed a job as weekend weatherman at KVRR in that state's freezing Fargo.

In 2003, he made the big jump to Washington, D.C., and ABC chapter WJLA-TV.

Before coming to San Antonio and KSAT in 2014, he held various on-air jobs there for eleven years, including forecasting the weather as the morning and noon meteorologist.

KSAT's news director Bernice Kearney-Bonner teased some exciting new weather developments involving Caskey and fellow station forecasters.

"Adam and the team plan to have our weather forecasting to a new level," Kearney-Bonner said in the statement annoucning Caskey's promotion. "We're currently working on several new tools that will profoundly raise the fashion our meteorologists forecast and tell the weather condition story. Some of the new tools will be rolled out in the weeks ahead, and nosotros can't expect for viewers to see the sophisticated engineering that's being introduced."

As for whether Caskey will go on alive any of Browne's trademark extras, he said: "I practice actually enjoy gardening. I'd love to continue his vegetable garden growing and thriving and healthy.".
