Sally Russell

     Sally came to The Weather Channel in January of 2000, a wonderful way to start a brand new millennium. Her interest in meteorology started from her young upbringing in the United Kingdom, where she was fascinated with the local television weatherman.

    She was able to watch him and repeat verbatim everything he reported. This interest in weather only grew when Sally moved to southwest Florida, where you can set your watch by the afternoon thunderstorms.

    She was bitten by the radio bug in 1990, and since then, has programmed two stations, hosted an on-air afternoon drive shift, delivered traffic reports, and reported for ABC/Disney's WYAY/WKHX in Atlanta.

    A graduate from the University of Alabama, with a degree in Communications, Sally is finishing up with the Broadcast Meteorology Program with Mississippi State.

    When she is not at work, her interests include watching baseball and college football, playing tennis, hiking, and demonstrating her kickboxing talents. She also keeps busy playing her clarinet and taking care of her two Siamese cats.
