Keith Carson is a meteorologist at NEWS CENTER Maine in Portland, specializing in forecasting and climate analysis.
Keith has a Bachelor of Science in meteorology from Lyndon State College. He was voted “Best of Maine” Downeast Magazine readers choice 2017-2018 “Best Meteorologist” Readers' Choice Portland Phoenix 2018 and named Hottest Newsmen on Buzzfeed 2017. (Seriously)
Raised among woodland creatures in the fields of central Massachusetts, Carson developed an acute awareness of the weather at a young age. Honing these skills into a full-time occupation that involved wearing make-up under bright lights carried him through his formative years.
After two years forecasting at WSI, another two at WPTZ-TV, and three years at NEWS CENTER Maine, Carson was recruited by a big-time cable executive who implored him to give America a glimpse at what a “smedium” really meant. During his time with The Weather Channel, Keith rubbed shoulders with legends like Al Roker and Jim Cantore, covered major weather events, and accumulated a ton of Delta SkyMiles.
But the call of Maine was too strong to resist for long. Now Keith returns older, wiser, scruffier, and with even tighter suits.
