No single weather moment drew Luke Snyder to meteorology, but an early obsession with the Weather Channel and a knack for science and math guided them toward it.

In less than five years, the Moon Township, Pennsylvania, native went from a nervous high school student searching for a career path to an intern for CNN’s weather team.
