Kevin Janison
is a native of Los Angeles where he attended Fairfax High School, then California State University, Northridge.
He has held the National Weather Association Seal of Approval since 1985. The Janison family moved to Las Vegas in 1994 and proudly moved to News 3 in 2007. Prior to southern Nevada, he worked in Reno; Madison, WI; Evansville, IN; Jackson, MS and New York City.
Since calling Las Vegas home, Kevin's forecasts have dealt with all the curve balls thrown our way in Southern Nevada: 100 year floods to drought. From 8 inches of snow in Henderson, to 117 degrees at the airport. From spring winds that have gusted over 90 mph in some neighborhoods to rare fog in the desert. There have been small tornadoes, microbursts, hail and late night lightning assaults. Who says Las Vegas' weather is boring?
Kevin has been responsible for building the Neighborhood Weather Network, which placed weather stations and provided curriculum in meteorology in over 100 schools throughout the region.
Last year alone, Kevin visited over 120 schools, giving presentations on weather, being an author, reading and speaking at graduations and DARE culminations. He has also volunteered his time to numerous charities and community organizations since coming to Clark County.
Kevin was named National Broadcaster of the Year in 2006 by the National Weather Association. This honor was bestowed based on his on-air work, building and administrating the weather station network and service to the community. It is a very prestigious honor since every TV meteorologist/weathercaster in the country is eligible.
In June 2012, Kevin received his fourth Emmy award from the Southwest Region of the National Association of Television Arts and Sciences. It was his 8th nomination for his on-air work. He has won a "Best Weathercast" award from the Associated Press, "Best On-Air Personality" and six "Best Weathercaster" awards from Las Vegas' Electronic Media Awards, plus several mentions in the Review Journal's "Best of Las Vegas" annual edition.
In 2006, Kevin was named to the Greenspun Media Group's "Most Influential Las Vegans."
In 2003, the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce named Kevin, "Humanitarian of the Year." In 2005, he was recognized as a "Citizen of Distinction" by the Foundation for an Independent Tomorrow. He was inducted into the Nevada Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 1999. In 2012 he was included again in “Distinguished Women and Men in Nevada.”
In May 2007, Kevin's first children's book was published, "Deputy Dorkface; How Stinkville Got Cleaned Up." The book is based on a bedtime story he told his children about a town where nobody takes a bath. It has already gone into its third printing and inspired the sequel: "Deputy Dorkface; How Sugaropolis Got Dessert Back" about a town where the kids are too full for dinner but always have room for dessert. “Sugaropolis” entered its second printing in 2012. He shares the stories plus demonstrates the writing and editing process in schools throughout the year. And… “Deputy Dorkface; How Mannerland Got Its Manners Back” was his latest adventure to hit the shelves in April 2011.
An avid tennis enthusiast, Kevin is often found on local courts. And... to add a little excitement, looks forward to that week each Spring traveling to the Plains to chase tornadoes. Kevin is married to Terri, who is a Senior Director for the United Way, and has a daughter, Taylor, and son, Colin.
