Karlene Chavis’ parents must’ve been clairvoyant because when she was six years old, they told her she would be a meteorologist. They took her passion for earth science, the fact she played with dinosaurs instead of Barbies, and enjoyed the outdoors as signs that she was destined for greatness. Today, Karlene is the Chief Meteorologist for CBS 8 San Diego and the first black Chief Meteorologist in San Diego television history. On this high energy episode Karlene shares how she got to San Diego, talks about what it takes to report the weather, inspiring women in science, her favorite season, childhood celebrity crushes and why she is a self-described “Pumpkin Spice Latte Basic Bitch!”
