Anthony Yanez's first day at KPRC will be remembered for more than just a new job. The date was July 15, 2003, and Hurricane Claudette was blasting everywhere -- from Galveston to Palacios. He realized he wasn't in Albuquerque, N.M. anymore. Gone were the days of forecasting mild, warm weather and endless sunshine. Welcome to Houston, a city of four million, where a forecaster has to deal with oppressive heat, severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes.The work hours may seem odd, but Anthony loves his job. As the weekday morning meteorologist, Anthony wakes up at 2:30 a.m. He is into work at 3 a.m., and starting at 4:30 a.m. he's giving an hour-by-hour forecast to help you plan your day.
