PEAKS2PLAINS WEATHER ANNOUNCES ADDITION OF VETERAN METEOROLOGIST MERRY MATTHEWS
Colorado Springs, CO — Peaks2Plains Weather today announced that veteran broadcast meteorologist Merry Matthews will be joining the digital-first weather platform, creating the most experienced weather team in Southern Colorado.
Matthews brings a deep background in both local and national forecasting, including time as Chief Meteorologist at KRDO and a five-year tenure with WeatherNation. She is recognized for her strong on-air presence and expertise across multiple broadcast platforms.
“Merry is one of the most respected meteorologists in Colorado,” said founder Matt Meister. “Her experience, credibility, and passion for serving the community perfectly align with what we’re building at Peaks2Plains Weather. Together, we’re raising the bar for what local weather coverage can be.”
“Weather is a shared experience within the community,” said Matthews. “Without that connection, there is a gap in both the storytelling and delivering the warning.”
Peaks2Plains Weather, founded by longtime Southern Colorado meteorologist Matt Meister, delivers hyperlocal forecasts across mobile, streaming, web, and social platforms—meeting audiences where they are in the evolving digital landscape.
“With Merry joining the team, our viewers get decades of combined experience focused on one mission—serving Southern Colorado,” Meister added. “This is about trust, consistency, and being there when it matters most.”
“At our core, Matt Meister and I are both science-driven meteorologists who believe the community always comes first,” said Matthews. “That shared foundation makes this partnership feel like a natural fit.”
“Peaks2Plains Weather represents the future of how local weather can be,” said Meister. “Direct, accessible, and community-focused.”
