Felicia Combs- Relationship, Boyfriend
Her followers frequently ask if she’s in a relationship but, it turns out that Combs is still unmarried as of today, as she has mentioned in interviews and on her social media numerous times.
Nonetheless, according to one of the meteorologist’s tweets from 2018, she did have a boyfriend but did not share his identity. Combs does not have any children, but she does have a nephew named Xander whom she adores babysitting. She gave him a onesie that said, “My mom’s taken, but my aunt is cute and single,” proving that she is not in a relationship. She remarked in one tweet that she doesn’t understand parents who tell their children they’re terrible, greedy, or whiny.
“Why would you ever plant those seeds in your children’s spirits?” she said, revealing her parenting style. Combs is a feminist who, despite her love for children and desire for her own, advocates for women who choose a profession over having a child.
Felicia Combs- Professional Career
Combs noted on her official website that she had forecasted “anything from calm weather to winter blizzards or severe weather outbreaks,” and that she has done weekend double shifts.
Felicia also covered other shifts and was in charge of school visits, safety day presentations, and reports, demonstrating her ability and dedication to the job.
Combs began her professional career in 2011 when she was hired as the Morning Meteorologist by NewsCentral (FOX24/ABC16) in Macon, Georgia. She began her job for WGXA Morning News on ABC16 around 5 a.m. and then covered weather for Fox24 from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.
In 2013, she started working as a meteorologist at KYTV in Kansas City, where she could be seen on “Ozarks Today” Weekend Edition, NY3 News at Noon, Branson Visitor TV, and KY3 24-7. Combs returned to Florida in 2016 to join WFLX FOX 29 but left in 2018. She published a passionate letter on her Twitter account about her approaching departure, adding that the event is bittersweet for her but also very exciting.
After career
She took a significant stride forward in her career in 2019 when she started working for The Weather Channel. She has nine years of expertise and has seen practically every weather pattern; however, the incident that affected her the most and stands out the most to her is Hurricane Matthew. “It came very close to West Palm Beach, and it appeared to be a direct impact for a little while, and then it altered route,” Felicia recounts. Combs’ profession required her to evaluate and interpret meteorological data, as well as generate forecasts, which she also presented. She also issues hurricane warnings and interprets prognostic charts, maps, and pictures.
Social Media Details
Felicia utilizes social media to communicate parts of her life’s events, but she keeps some information to herself. She released a message at the end of 2019 in which she expressed her thanks for the things she accomplished and received over the year – she specifically mentioned being an aunt, making friends, and working in two new countries, Thailand and Mexico.
She has 15,000 Instagram followers who get to witness her travel and spend time with her friends. As she noted, she hasn’t spent Christmas with her family in nearly a decade because her profession demands so much of her time and attention, but she doesn’t mind because she gets to spend it with her colleagues, who are also like family to her. Many of Felicia’s reports have been uploaded to YouTube. Felicia has worked with the National Weather Association and the 211 Helpline since 2015.
Her preferred weather is tropical, which is not surprising given that she grew up in Florida, a hot area. She recalls problems she faced during the 2004/2005 hurricane season, including the inability to attend school and the lack of roofing and electricity. Aside from that, her favorite season is autumn.
