John moved to Amarillo in May 1992 from Denver, Colorado where he received his degree in meteorology. While in Denver, John was a student member of the American Meteorological Society, serving on the student staff operations for the Ninth Conference on Numerical Weather Prediction in October 1991. John went on to receive the AMS Seal of Approval for Television Weathercasting in 1994.

Prior to his position at KAMR NBC 4 and KCIT FOX 14, Harris served as Morning and Weekend Meteorologist for another Amarillo station from 1992-2008.

John has received two degrees: B.S. in Business Marketing, Southwestern Oklahoma State University, 1985, and a Bachelors of Science Degree in Meteorology from Metropolitan State College of Denver, 1992.

Practicing meteorology in the Texas Panhandle for nearly 17 years, John knows, and respects the diversity of weather that can occur at any one moment! While loving the beautiful sunsets of summer, and the whipped up snow drifts from a picturesque winter scene, John has also witnessed first hand, the horrific damage of an F-5 tornado, and the sickening heartbreak it can bring to a town in a matter of moments. Folks of the viewing area can rest assured, if dangerous weather occurs, John and his team will be on TV 24/7 to provide timely and accurate weather bulletins.

With God’s perfect grace, John has a beautiful wife…..Kristin, and two boys….Joshua, and Mason.
