He remembers being very curious about storms but being scared at the same time and running into his room to hide in the closet, but at the same time, he would still peak out and watch them, only to run away again. That fear turned into a passion, and he would be glued to the TV and looked forward to listening to the forecast.\n\nErik became a Weather Watcher at WLKY-TV, the CBS affiliate in Louisville, KY at the age of 12, giving weather reports on the weekend.\n\nOriginally from Seymour, Indiana, Erik graduated in 2012 with his Bachelor of Atmospheric Sciences, but while finishing up his college studies, he got his first on-air gig doing radio at WXKU/WZZB. There, he covered everything from pool parties to the county fairs, did news, and of course, did weather on the weekends.\n\nHe did radio until April 2014 when Casper, Wyoming called him, and he took the job at KTWO as their chief meteorologist, a position he held until June 2020. During his tenure at KTWO, they became the first TV station in the state to be designated StormReady by the National Weather Service.\n\nIn 2020, Rapid City, S.D. came calling. Erik joined KNBN-TV as a Meteorologist. There, he covered several events from the Summer Nights concert series, to the Sturgis motorcycle rally, to events at Mt. Rushmore, and everything in between. Working in Rapid City also gave him an even broader knowledge of elevation meteorology.\n\nIn 2022, Erik traded the elevation meteorology for something a little more âcalmâ, and moved across I-90 to La Crosse, Wisconsin. He worked for WKBT as the weekend meteorologist. After a brief stint at KCRG in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, he is excited to move back \"home\" and work at WYMT in the First Alert Weather Center giving viewers the most accurate forecast.\n\nIn his spare time, you can find him somewhere enjoying Eastern Kentucky and seeing what it has to offer. During the summer, you can probably f
126ind him lounging by a pool, the river or even gassing up the car, and going off the grid by taking a nice road trip. \n\nIn the winter season, you can find him outside as he is a sucker for snow and cold weather. If he is not doing one of those, you will find him spending some quality time with his family.\n\nIf you see him out and about, please do not hesitate to say hi! He would love to chat with you!","slug":"","native_app_rendering":false,"fuzzy_match":false,"contributor":false,"status":true,"last_updated_date":"2026-07-17T20:02:33.254Z","custom_gray_stationdepartment":"weather","custom_gray_displaypriority":"1","location":"Hazard, KY","custom_gray_stationname":"wymt","snapchat":"TheErikDean","instagram":"TheErikDean","facebook":"https://www.facebook.com/TheErikDean","twitter":"@TheErikDean"}}}]},"description":{"basic":"Tomorrow brings the main event: rain and thunderstorms Friday afternoon into evening."},"display_date":"2026-10-01T22:54:33.466Z","headlines":{"basic":"FIRST ALERT FORECAST: Shower and Storm Chances Pick Up Friday","meta_title":"","mobile":"","native":"","print":"","table":"","tablet":"","web":""},"promo_items":{"basic":{"_id":"W6OWUNYC4JG75BQPQAAVK3PSIQ","additional_properties":{"fullSizeResizeUrl":"/resizer/v2/W6OWUNYC4JG75BQPQAAVK3PSIQ.png?auth=7ff4dca6c35e1937481f8e4dea6f80bde2388fc05de9686f168d42b2353eb405","galleries":[],"ingestionMethod":"manual","iptc_source":"WYMT","mime_type":"image/png","originalName":"WYMT G1 Image Basic Slate.png","originalUrl":"https://cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/gray/W6OWUNYC4JG75BQPQAAVK3PSIQ.png","owner":"[email protected]","proxyUrl":"/resizer/v2/W6OWUNYC4JG75BQPQAAVK3PSIQ.png?auth=7ff4dca6c35e1937481f8e4dea6f80bde2388fc05de9686f168d42b2353eb405","published":true,"resizeUrl":"/resizer/v2/W6OWUNYC4JG75BQPQAAVK3PSIQ.png?auth=7ff4dca6c35e1937481f8e4dea6f80bde2388fc05de9686f168d42b2353eb405","restricted":false,"thumbnailResizeUrl":"/resizer/v2/W6OWUNYC4JG75BQPQAAVK3PSIQ.png?auth=7ff4dca6c35e1937481f8e4dea6f80bde2388fc05de9686f168d42b2353eb405&width=300","usage_instructions":"None","version":1,"template_id":29},"address":{},"auth":{"3":"7ff4dca6c35e1937481f8e4dea6f80bde2388fc05de9686f168d42b2353eb405"},"caption":"WYMT First Alert Weather Rain","created_date":"2025-10-18T02:05:31Z","credits":{"affiliation":[{"name":"WYMT","type":"author"}]},"distributor":{"mode":"reference","reference_id":"df7eb693-e238-4261-a264-c7a4edf606e5"},"height":1080,"image_type":"photograph","last_updated_date":"2025-10-18T02:06:01Z","licensable":false,"owner":{"id":"gray","sponsored":false},"source":{"name":"All Gray TV Stations (English and Spanish)","source_type":"staff","additional_properties":{"editor":"photo center"},"edit_url":"","system":"photo center"},"subtitle":"WYMT First Alert Weather Rain","taxonomy":{"associated_tasks":[]},"type":"image","url":"https://cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/gray/W6OWUNYC4JG75BQPQAAVK3PSIQ.png","version":"0.10.9","width":1920,"syndication":{},"creditIPTC":"WYMT"},"lead_art":{"embed":{"config":{"expirationDate":"2026-10-02T22:00:18.483Z"}},"subtype":"quickplay-livestream","type":"custom_embed"}},"source":{"system":"composer"},"type":"story","version":"0.10.11","website":"wymt","websites":{"wymt":{"website_section":{"_id":"/weather/forecast","_website":"wymt","additional_properties":{"original":{"navigation":{"nav_title":"Forecast"},"site":{"site_title":"Forecast"}}},"name":"Forecast"},"website_url":"/2026/10/01/first-alert-forecast-shower-storm-chances-pick-up-friday/"}},"_id":"D73KM7QDGNDIDJMT7N62DFGBX4","taxonomy":{"sections":[{"_id":"/weather/forecast","_website":"wymt","additional_properties":{"original":{"navigation":{"nav_title":"Forecast"},"site":{"site_title":"Forecast"}}},"name":"Forecast"}]},"website_url":"/2026/10/01/first-alert-forecast-shower-storm-chances-pick-up-friday/","hasVideo":true,"hasVideoCenterVideo":false,"hasClickabilityVideo":false,"hasPowaLiveVideoPlayer":true},{"canonical_url":"/2026/10/01/be-sunshine-prestonsburg-family-honors-daughters-legacy-through-6th-annual-blood-drive/","credits":{"by":[{"_id":"[email protected]","type":"author","ver

He won a speech competition in \"broadcasting\" and from that moment, he knew he wanted to work in the news business.\n\nHis career started in radio news in Danville, Ky., and he then worked for stations in London, Stanford, and back in Lexington. After a short stint as a newspaper reporter, Phil joined the news team at our sister station WKYT in 2003.\n\n\"I've worked in all three mediums: print, radio, and now television, but I must say, I enjoy television the most,\" says Phil. \"However, in today's world with the internet and social media, you just about do all three now, anyway.\"\n\nPhil mainly covers the western region of the WYMT viewing area but you'll also see him covering the General Assembly when Kentucky's lawmakers make their annual trek to Frankfort each year.\n\nPhil is a big UK basketball fan and was thrilled to be able to cover Cats fans during some recent tournament trips, including the Final Four. Phil also won the Associated Press best continuing news award for his coverage of Kentuckians helping Hurricane Katrina victims in Mississippi in 2005.\n\n\"Someone told me my stories of Kentuckians helping others deal with disaster is what they think I do the best,\" said Phil. \"I really love traveling to places and highlighting events that bring out the best in people,\" he said.\n\nWhen he's not crisscrossing the state covering news, Phil enjoys spending time with his wife and three children. He's active in his church and in his spare time enjoys golf, movies, and going to concerts.\n\n","slug":"","native_app_rendering":false,"fuzzy_match":false,"contributor":false,"status":true,"last_updated_date":"2026-01-13T00:16:42.220Z","custom_gray_stationname":"wymt","custom_gray_stationdepartment":"news","custom_gray_displaypriority":"5"}}}]},"description":{"basic":"Kentucky has not had an execution since 2008 because of numerous legal issues being argued in court.

I am allowed to say \"y'all\" because I was born and raised in East Tennessee and am a proud Tennessee girl!\n\nI have always loved calling Tennessee home. For 23 years I have been exploring the breathtaking Smoky Mountains, learning all the words to Dolly Parton's songs, navigating my way through life to the best of my ability and making memories with the people I love most. I loved Tennessee so much that when it was time for college, I chose to stay close and went to the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. There, I earned my bachelor's degree in journalism and electronic media with a minor in communications. Go Vols!\n\nOnce I graduated in May of 2024, I thought to myself, \"I can go anywhere and do anything.\" I determined myself that while I am young and healthy to get out of my comfort zone and see more of God's creation. I knew it would be scary, but I did it anyway. I applied to all kinds of places from Louisiana, Montana, South Carolina and even Hawaii. Little did I know that the Lord would lead me to the amazing Eastern Kentucky, which I am now proud to call my mountain home away from home!\n\nI initially loved writing. In elementary school, I won all the writing awards. Then came middle school, where I ventured out and tried out for \"Raider TV,\" our morning newscast that was broadcast throughout the school. That is when I instantly fell in love with broadcast journalism. When it was time for high school, I knew that I wanted to be a part of CHS Live, or Raider Tv's bigger older brother. I was involved with that for 3 years where I also served as the executive director my junior year. I guess you could say, God gave me a loud and clear calling and I fall in love with it more and more every day. I am so excited to dive into the stories of Eastern Kentucky and share them with you amazing people. \n\nI have a few goals while I am here in Hazard. Number one, I want to explore the beautiful scenery that surrounds us. I would love to explore the Appalachia mountains, just like I have done with the Smokies. I also want to grow not only as a young journalist here, but a young woman as well. I have already learned so much from my amazing co-workers about not only the industry, but life. The stories I have been able to cover and people I have met in my time here have already been such a reward and taught me things that I truly don't think I could learn anywhere else. Last, I would like to make connections that will last me a lifetime! I love meeting new people, so if you see me out, please say hello! \n\nI am so grateful God led me to this amazing town.

I am allowed to say \"y'all\" because I was born and raised in East Tennessee and am a proud Tennessee girl!\n\nI have always loved calling Tennessee home. For 23 years I have been exploring the breathtaking Smoky Mountains, learning all the words to Dolly Parton's songs, navigating my way through life to the best of my ability and making memories with the people I love most. I loved Tennessee so much that when it was time for college, I chose to stay close and went to the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. There, I earned my bachelor's degree in journalism and electronic media with a minor in communications. Go Vols!\n\nOnce I graduated in May of 2024, I thought to myself, \"I can go anywhere and do anything.\" I determined myself that while I am young and healthy to get out of my comfort zone and see more of God's creation. I knew it would be scary, but I did it anyway. I applied to all kinds of places from Louisiana, Montana, South Carolina and even Hawaii. Little did I know that the Lord would lead me to the amazing Eastern Kentucky, which I am now proud to call my mountain home away from home!\n\nI initially loved writing. In elementary school, I won all the writing awards. Then came middle school, where I ventured out and tried out for \"Raider TV,\" our morning newscast that was broadcast throughout the school. That is when I instantly fell in love with broadcast journalism. When it was time for high school, I knew that I wanted to be a part of CHS Live, or Raider Tv's bigger older brother. I was involved with that for 3 years where I also served as the executive director my junior year. I guess you could say, God gave me a loud and clear calling and I fall in love with it more and more every day. I am so excited to dive into the stories of Eastern Kentucky and share them with you amazing people. \n\nI have a few goals while I am here in Hazard. Number one, I want to explore the beautiful scenery that surrounds us. I would love to explore the Appalachia mountains, just like I have done with the Smokies. I also want to grow not only as a young journalist here, but a young woman as well. I have already learned so much from my amazing co-workers about not only the industry, but life. The stories I have been able to cover and people I have met in my time here have already been such a reward and taught me things that I truly don't think I could learn anywhere else. Last, I would like to make connections that will last me a lifetime! I love meeting new people, so if you see me out, please say hello! \n\nI am so grateful God led me to this amazing town. I believe we all have a purpose in life, and this is the start of His purpose for me! I am excited for the next few years and the chance to explore, learn and grow here in Hazard, Kentucky. \n\nStory idea? Please email me!

He won a speech competition in \"broadcasting\" and from that moment, he knew he wanted to work in the news business.\n\nHis career started in radio news in Danville, Ky., and he then worked for stations in London, Stanford, and back in Lexington. After a short stint as a newspaper reporter, Phil joined the news team at our sister station WKYT in 2003.\n\n\"I've worked in all three mediums: print, radio, and now television, but I must say, I enjoy television the most,\" says Phil. \"However, in today's world with the internet and social media, you just about do all three now, anyway.\"\n\nPhil mainly covers the western region of the WYMT viewing area but you'll also see him covering the General Assembly when Kentucky's lawmakers make their annual trek to Frankfort each year.\n\nPhil is a big UK basketball fan and was thrilled to be able to cover Cats fans during some recent tournament trips, including the Final Four. Phil also won the Associated Press best continuing news award for his coverage of Kentuckians helping Hurricane Katrina victims in Mississippi in 2005.\n\n\"Someone told me my stories of Kentuckians helping others deal with disaster is what they think I do the best,\" said Phil. \"I really love traveling to places and highlighting events that bring out the best in people,\" he said.\n\nWhen he's not crisscrossing the state covering news, Phil enjoys spending time with his wife and three children. He's active in his church and in his spare time enjoys golf, movies, and going to concerts.\n\n","slug":"","native_app_rendering":false,"fuzzy_match":false,"contributor":false,"status":true,"last_updated_date":"2026-01-13T00:16:42.220Z","custom_gray_stationname":"wymt","custom_gray_stationdepartment":"news","custom_gray_displaypriority":"5"}}}]},"description":{"basic":"Numerous police officers are expected to attend the funeral of Trooper Hayden Phillips.

I was a member of the award winning Hazard Band of Gold. My parents and many of my immediate family members still live in Eastern Kentucky. I've always been interested in news. One of the first memories of my childhood was watching the coverage of the assassination attempt on President Reagan. I could watch CNN for hours and hours and was fascinated by the coverage of stories such as the Gulf War. I dreamed back then of being a news reporter and now I'm living that dream.\n\nI attended Eastern Kentucky University and graduated in 1999 with a major in broadcasting and a minor in history. While in college, I was a disc jockey on the campus radio station and a reporter and anchor for Madison County Cable News. In the summer of 1998, I obtained an internship at WTSP, the CBS affiliate in Tampa-St. Petersburg, Florida.\n\nDespite having some great professors in college, nothing prepared me for the \"real world\" like the internship work I did at WYMT. I grew up watching WYMT and could probably name every anchor and reporter that's worked here. When I was only a high school junior and 17-years-old, Tony Turner let me intern at the station. I did this for five summers in a row and the experience I gained was invaluable.\n\nI started working full-time at WYMT two weeks after graduating from college in May, 1999. I started out as a reporter and co-anchor for Mountain News at 11. In 2002, I started anchoring the
1266:00 news. A few years later we started First at 4 and I also anchor that newscast. I also host our Issues and Answers program on most Mondays. I've been lucky to have the opportunity to work with several wonderful co-anchors and journalists through the years. I've also been fortunate enough to win several Associated Press awards for my work. One of the biggest highlights of my career came in 2013, when I accepted the station's first regional Emmy award along with former weatherman and producer Brandon Robinson for our coverage of the 2012 tornado outbreak. I'm especially proud of some special projects I've tackled, like a series on the 1957 flood, the 1958 Floyd County school bus crash and our Mountain Cold Case series in 2008. As news director, I tried my best to lead our newsroom through the pandemic and some very difficult stories to cover, such as the July, 2022 flood. \n\nOne of the things I love about this job is that I get to do a little bit of everything, and it's never boring! Many of us owe a lot to the late Tony Turner, who gave me my start in this business. I never thought I would be sitting in his chair on the 6:00 news. Many of us here thought of him as a mentor and a second father. He was those things to me and I still miss his presence. Even though he's been gone since his untimely death in 2002, we are trying to honor his memory by working hard and making WYMT the best television station in the mountains.\n\nWhen I find some spare time, I'm usually pretty lazy! I enjoy being with family and friends, surfing the web, watching television, and sleeping! I'm also a member of First Baptist Church in Hazard.\n\nI love eastern Kentucky and its people. Thank you for allowing me to come into your living rooms every night and putting your trust in me for more than two decades. I enjoy hearing from viewers so feel free to e-mail me anytime! You can also follow me on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

I graduated from there with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. I wrote for the collegeâs newspaper as a sportswriter and provided commentary for the menâs basketball, womenâs basketball, baseball, and softball teams.\n\nI have been at WYMT since 2014. I started out working in the production department, running a camera for remotes. Then, I became a director and did that up until August 2022.\n\nI am very passionate about music, sports, and family.\n\nThere is nothing I love more than representing this TV station and the people of the mountains.
