Milton's impacts to the First Coast will arrive Wednesday, with the worst of the weather being Wednesday evening to Thursday morning.

Dr Deegan has by far always been the most reliable meteorologist in this market. He takes his time and explains what's going on. Why it's going on. How it's going on. That's what we need. We do not need just a gloss-over forecast. Tim is very underrated.

Tim Deegan is a great source for accurate, practical, and understandable information on Florida storms. Appreciate you, brother.

Best meteorologist Jacksonville has ever had only one to predict snow Christmas of 1989

Tim Deagqn is the hero that helped me and my husband years ago to literally save millions of children. I still have the film of it.

[Mukunda]

Of all the meteorologists I have ever heard, he is, by far, the most interesting to listen to.

I had never heard of Tim Deegan until Helene, but now he is my goto weatherman.

Tim’s still got it! 40 years of service to the Jacksonville area.

Mike’s Weather Page does better job forecasting Hurricanes than our local weather stations

[JACKPAVAL]

This guy has been the Best in the business for Years!

Thank you Tim. You keep it real but still calm.

[SearchForTruth]

Your voice is awesome and the way you explain the weather is superb!

I remember I met Tim when I was 12 when he visited our school at S. Bryan Jennings Elementary in Orange Park. I’m now in my 40s. He’s always been the best meteorologist.

Darn hurricanes!!! They always hit in the night!!

[SandyBanks-vkdl]

Although I’m no longer living in Florida on a sailboat, I depended on Tim’s reporting back then and appreciate him still (miles away in WA State and off the boat -LOL!) - Does Tim remember the “Cold Cyclone of February” that hit all the east coast some decades ago? That was the defining moment for me with Tim’s forecasting….

Wilma 2005, entered through Naples and exited in Broward county. It went right above me in Sunrise. I used to live in a corner apartment, I remember how the wind direction changed as the eye passed closeby

Tim Deegan🤙🏾, the goat excellent update thank you!

[leecowell]

Wilma was October, 2005. Went right over our heads here in WPB as a cat2. Remarkable as it had to cross about 120 miles of land before it got to us. Made a mess but we had Frances and Jeanne here just the year before which cleared out a lottta of the weaker trees. I think we were were atta power for about 4 days but with Frances we were atta power for over a week even though it was a weaker storm here.
