History
Chief Meteorologist, David V. Barger has
almost 30 years now in the practice of
Broadcast Meteorology. He is currently
Severe Storms Meteorologist at
KCMetroWeather in Kansas City , on
Channel 20 of Time Warner Cable.
His history in the weather business actually
got started as a child here in the Midwest .
Whenever severe weather warnings would
be issued, he actually was so scared he
would run and hide under the bed, in the
closet, or anywhere he thought would be
safe from the storms. Wizard of Oz? Forget
it.
As he grew though, his interest in severe
storms and what makes them occur lead
him into the study of meteorology. Severe
weather forecasting just came natural to him.
David has served as chief meteorologist in
cities such as Wichita, Ks., Omaha, Ne.,
Springfield, Mo., Shreveport, La., Oklahoma
City, Ok., Topeka, Ks., Kansas City Metro
Area, Joplin, Mo., and at hundred of small
stations throughout Oklahoma, Texas and
Southern Kansas affiliated with the
Oklahoma News Network. He chased the
1991 Andover Tornado, and the 1990
Hesston Kansas F5 Tornado having to duck
into a farmers tornado haven when another
tornado the same day touched down near
Sedgwick Kansas 1/2 mile from his chase
vehicle.
David has served as the official
meteorologist of the Kansas City T-bones
baseball club, the current northern league
champions. He also reported weather
forecasts for Kansas City Chiefs and
Kansas City Royals home games on Metro
Sports, on Time Warner Cable, here in
Kansas City.
David also has entertained students at
school assemblies, given severe weather
seminars at shopping malls and
businesses, and did what he loves the most,
chased storms in the Midwest. David has
always had the uncanny knack of being at
the right place at the right time, and has
seen numerous tornadoes "in the wild"
throughout his career.
David is currently a member in good
standing of the National Weather
Association. He is also a volunteer at his
home church, United Methodist Church of
the Resurrection in Leawood Kansas
working on camera, lights, graphics, and
directing the various Sunday services.
