A native of the Sunshine State, Meteorologist Brantly Scott is originally from Pensacola in the Florida Panhandle. His passion for weather was shaped by the active hurricane seasons of his childhood, particularly when his hometown experienced back-to-back hurricane landfalls in 2004 and 2005. Brantly holds a Bachelor of Science in Meteorology with a Minor in Mathematics from Florida State University and a Master of Science in Geoscience with a Concentration in Applied Meteorology from Mississippi State University. Brantly has also earned the prestigious Certified Broadcast Meteorologist (CBM) designation from the American Meteorological Society, a recognition of his expertise in communicating complex weather information to the public. Before coming to Miami, Brantly worked in New Orleans, Louisiana and Gulfport, Mississippi, where he covered tornadoes, wildfires, flooding, and several hurricanes. He reported from the field during the historic 2020 and 2021 Atlantic hurricane seasons, covering Hurricanes Laura, Sally, Delta, and Zeta. Before launching his professional career, Brantly honed his skills with a year-long internship at WEAR-TV in northwest Florida, followed by a stint as a freelance meteorologist the following summer. When he’s not tracking weather systems, Brantly loves to spend time along the coast—whether enjoying the beach, engaging in water sports, or recalling his decade-long competitive swimming career. He also worked as a surf rescue lifeguard in Pensacola.
