Michael Estime FOX 2
Estime served for 4 years as the Weekend Meteorologist and weekday co-host of “Live on Lakeside” in Cleveland at WKYC, prior to joining the WJBK Fox 2 News family. Northeast Ohio is an amazing part of the country to reside in given its proximity to Lake Erie. Lake Erie impacted day-to-day life every fall, winter, and spring with tons of lake-effect snow! It was a forecasting challenge, but one that he welcomed with open arms and a shovel in hand.
Before moving to Cleveland, he served as the Morning, Midday & Noon Meteorologist at WTVQ in the “Horse Capital of the World” – Lexington, Kentucky. During his tenure in Kentucky, his forecasts of crippling snowstorms, record-shattering cold, devastating flooding, and violent tornadoes helped earn our weather team the title of “Most Accurate Forecast in Central Kentucky” by WeatheRate. Your safety before, during, and after a storm is his number one priority. Rain or shine, day or night, he has always been passionate about the weather, committed to our community, and optimistic outlook is qualities that you can count on.
Estime started his broadcasting career in the “Song & Soul of the South,” – Macon, Georgia. In addition, he worked as the Morning Meteorologist at WMGT for several years before being promoted to Chief Meteorologist – a position he held for several years. furthermore, Estime experienced just about everything in Georgia, from blistering hot summers and hurricanes to snow and ice storms. The historic April 27-28, 2011 tornado outbreak in the southeast, which decimated parts of Central Georgia, serves as his piece of humble pie as to the extreme power of Mother Nature.
