Mike Modrick

Mike Modrick started life with a huge interest in all types of science. Boyhood dreams included being an Archeologist, and Astronomer, starting college in Computer Science. But after one class in Meteorology, he was hooked! With a B.S. in Meteorology, with a double major in Speech. He set out into the world of TV News, forecasting the weather for four decades from the Black Hills of South Dakota, to Washington, D.C., and now, on Florida’s Suncoast in Paradise.

After 70 cruises, Mike and his retired wife looked for a view that would be just like the back of a cruise ship. They found it on the Suncoast in 2020 with their cat, Tabitha. Mike is a Meteorologist on Good Morning Suncoast, and creator of a weekly series called Discovering the Suncoast. Every week Mike explores the unique history in southwest Florida. When he’s not working, you could find him at the beach. Or the pool. Or back on the beach again!
