Travis Herzog named Broadcaster of the Year by The National Weather Association

Congrats to Travis Herzog on his big honor.

The KTRK abc13 meteorologist was honored as Broadcaster of the Year by The National Weather Association.

"I still can't believe it, and I really see this as an award for our entire weather team. The whole really is greater than the sum of its parts," Herzog posted on Instagram. "I dedicate this award to all of you who have suffered so much through all these floods we've endured together over the past couple of years. I can only hope that what I've done has helped you make better decisions for you and your family."

The NWA page says the Broadcaster of the Year Award is:

For exemplary service by helping to save lives and prevent significant property loss from flash flooding through clear communication, ongoing education efforts and working collaboratively with the weather enterprise as a whole.

Herzog has been with KTRK since 2006. He graduated from Texas A&M with a B.S. in Meteorology and a perfect 4.0 GPR.

The National Weather Association just named me their Broadcaster of the Year for 2017. I still can't believe it, and I really see this as an award for our entire weather team. The whole really is greater than the sum of its parts. I dedicate this award to all of you who have suffered so much through all these floods we've endured together over the past couple of years. I can only hope that what I've done has helped you make better decisions for you and your family.
