Meet Your Meteorologist
For Doug Heady, weather has never just been a job. From standing up in class to deliver the weekly forecast at five years old to leading the weather team at KOAM-TV in Joplin, his love for meteorology has always been front and center.
At only 18, he landed his first on-air position at a local cable station in Lawrence, Kansas. With dedication and drive, he quickly rose through the ranks, becoming Chief Meteorologist. His career then took him to KSHB-TV (NBC) in Kansas City before his 17+ year role at KOAM-TV.
Today, Doug combines decades of forecasting experience with a genuine love for helping people understand and prepare for the weather.
"Whether it's a sunny day or a severe storm, the goal is the same: keep this community informed, safe, and confident."
