WILI has been a leader in up-to-date, accurate weather information for eastern Connecticut since 1977. Our first staff meteorologist was the immensely popular Norm MacDonald, who passed away in 2002. To see a tribute to “Uncle Normie,” click here .
Jeff Morrow was WILI’s afternoon meteorologist in the early 1980s, and had live chats with WILI afternoon announcer Denise Bellamy. Jeff moved to the Weather Channel as an on-camera meteorologist in 1985 and after 27 years at TWC, moved to WKRN-TV in Nashville
In April, 2010, Wayne Norman featured a “Weather Word of the Day” each morning at 6:45, as part of the “Windham Reads” literacy project with the Windham schools–a program suggested by Mary Lou DeVivo.
WILI’s Wayne Norman is a frequent visitor to New Hampshire’s Mount Washington, home of “The World’s Worst Weather.” To see Wayne at the summit in winter conditions, click here.
