CELEB BIO • ryan mcpike
Ryan is the chief meteorologist at Action 3 News. He grew up just down I-29 in Kansas City, where the majority of his family is from and where much of his family still resides.
It was at a young age when Ryan fell in love with weather. It all started with a fascination with winter storms and snow, followed by interest in the severe thunderstorms that frequent the Midwest and Central Plains during the spring and summer.
While Ryan attended the University of Missouri, he held several television internships in both Kansas City and Columbia, Missouri. His most beneficial internship came under the schooling of Mr. Bryan Busby at KMBC, one of the most respected meteorologists in the business.
It was there that Ryan got a real taste of the business and his career started to take off. Since graduating from MIZZOU in December of 1994, Ryan has worked in Topeka, KS, and Erie, PA. He came to Omaha in November of 1997 and was named chief meteorologist in February of 2002.
Ryan has dealt with nearly every weather scenario imaginable, from the challenging Lake Effect Snow of Erie, PA to the tornadoes of the Central Plains. Ryan says some of the nicest weather in the country can be found here in Omaha during the months of the fall season, which is when he enjoys working out, playing sports, and watching football.
