Dr. Joe Petrovich
“News 4 St. Louis” Meteorologist

 


Joe PetrovichJoe Petrovich came to KMOV Channel 4 as a Meteorologist in May 1994 with over 13 years of broadcasting experience.

Prior to joining "News 4 St. Louis," he worked at KTVI Channel 2, where he was a Meteorologist for five years, and at KSDK-TV Channel 5, where he was a Meteorologist for two years. Before settling in St. Louis, Petrovich worked in several different cities across the country. He was Chief Meteorologist for WBAY-TV in Green Bay, Wis., as well as an on-camera Meteorologist for the Weather Channel in Atlanta. Petrovich also worked as a producer and talent for Aviation Weather in Anchorage, Alaska, a half-hour program that was broadcast throughout the entire state.

During the 1970s, Petrovich worked with two different air pollution studies in the St. Louis metropolitan area, Project METROMEX (Metropolitan Meteorological Experiment) and RAPS (Regional Air Pollution Study), serving as forecaster for the multi-million dollar field study.

A graduate of Onondaga Community College in Syracuse, N.Y., Petrovich earned his Associate's degree in Math/Science. He then graduated from Saint Louis University with a Bachelor's degree in Meteorology. In 1980, Petrovich earned his Master's degree in Professional Meteorology from Saint Louis University and, in 2003, a Ph.D. in Meteorology, also from Saint Louis University, where he teaches classes in Broadcast Meteorology.

Petrovich is a past President of Saint Louis University College of Arts and Sciences Alumni Association. He is also an honorary member of Alpha Sigma Nu, a national Jesuit Society, and was recently elected as an associate member of Sigma Xi, an international research honorary.

Petrovich is a member of the American Meteorological Society and the National Weather Association. He has earned the AMS Seal of Approval, received the Superior Service Award from the National Weather Service and has been awarded the Dedicated Service Award as a Meteorologist/Manager.

Working from one side of the country to the other might have laid the foundation for Petrovich's greatest pleasure, traveling with his wife.
