The Sun Sentinel’s Johnny Diaz had a short Q&A with new WPEC meteorologist Jeff Berardelli where he asked him about his recent move away from WFOR. Jumping from the 16th largest TV market to the 38th is usually not the trajectory most on-air personalities take with their career but Berardelli says he made the move to WPEC because he “wanted a job where I could really help make a difference in the weather department” and that his position at CBS12 requires him to be more creative. While at WFOR Berardelli says he was “more of a worker than someone who had the ability to change things.”
If I were to consult the non-existent SFLTV crystall ball, I think it would say that we’re looking at the next WPEC chief meteorologist.

im not sure what difference he can make in the weather department but we will see
They made a big deal of his arrival, I can see them do what WPLG did with Trent and Don during hurricane coverage. Berardelli is probably being groomed to be the next chief
What Jeff DIDN’T say about WFOR speaks volumes. The station just doesn’t have very many memorable personalities, especially in weather.
