About Matt Meister
For more than two decades, Matt Meister has been one of Southern Colorado’s most trusted and recognized meteorologists. He has guided communities through the region’s biggest weather events — from historic wildfires to destructive floods and high-plains winter storms — always focused on what people need to know, not just what the atmosphere is doing.
An Emmy-nominated and multi-award-winning meteorologist, Matt’s work has earned recognition from the Colorado Broadcasters Association, the Associated Press, and tens of thousands of loyal viewers who have voted him “Best Of” year after year. His forecast philosophy is simple: weather should be useful, clear, and built around real-life impacts.
Matt’s scientific foundation is rooted in his research at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), where he contributed to automated thunderstorm forecasting systems used during the Sydney 2000 Olympics and later adopted by National Weather Service offices nationwide.
He continued building his communications expertise as Director of Communications for School District 49, where he led award-winning efforts in public relations, marketing, and community engagement.
Today, Matt brings that full blend of science, communication, storytelling, and trust to Peaks2Plains Weather — a modern forecasting service designed to meet Colorado where it is and where it’s going.
About Merry Matthews
