Banquet Speaker: Howard Bernstein, Meteorologist, 9NEWS NOW
 Meteorologist Howard Bernstein joined 9NEWS NOW in November of 2000. You can see him reporting the weather weekdays on the 9NEWS NOW in the mornings from 4:25-7:00 AM and again at Noon.
Howard earned a degree in 1988 Atmospheric Science from State University of New York at Albany, where he graduated cum laude. In 1990, he earned his AMS Seal from the American Meteorological Society. One of Howard's most memorable weather reporting moments was covering Hurricane Andrew in 1992, for WVUE, in New Orleans, Louisiana. Howard recalls preparing for the storm's 140 mph winds and wrath by packing up his valuables in the family car and parking it at the local airport garage for safekeeping, believing the apartment he lived in might not be there when he returned. Howard refers to that weather event as "the Super Bowl of storms." Howard also reported the weather for WUHF in Rochester, New York, in 1997, when that area received 43 inches of snow in 2 days.
