Meteorologist Geoff Linsley
Geoff Linsley earned his Bachelor’s degree in Atmospheric Science from Texas A&M University, has been a Forecast Meteorologist for West Coast Weather LLC since 2014, for Precision Forecasting LLC since 2021 and has also run his own ship since 2021. In 2023 he began broadcasting for Columbia Gorge Fruit Growers, working as a team with long-time CGFG Forecaster Erik Moldstad. In 2024 after Erik stepped down from forecasting, Geoff assumed both roles. Erik still fills in occasionally for Geoff.
He potentially discovered a correlation between tornadogenesis and specific ranges of USGS-measured solar electromagnetic and geomagnetic radiation levels, possibly creating a new parameter to observe when trying to forecast the most intense tornadoes.
