Meteorologist Alan Rose can be seen weekday evenings on KEY News at 5:00 PM, 6:00 PM, 6:30 PM, and 11:00 PM delivering the weather from KEYT’s new SkyTracker weather center.

Alan joined KEY News in December of 2005 and provided fill-in work over the winter holiday season before becoming the Weekend Meteorologist in February of 2006. He is now excited to bring his enthusiasm and passion for the weather to the viewers during the primetime weekday newscasts.

Since joining KEY News, Alan has launched the station's revolutionary new weather graphics, including the development of the two new SkyTracker 7-Day Forecasts for both the coast and inland areas of the tri-counties. He has also launched the Pinpoint Neighborhood Forecasts, which provide a detailed look at the numerous microclimates in our area.

Alan received his Master’s Degree in Geosciences from Mississippi State University in 2002. During his last year in graduate school, he worked as the midday and fill-in Meteorologist at WCBI-TV, the CBS affiliate in Columbus, Mississippi. Prior to that, Alan earned his Bachelor of Arts and Communications at the University of Alabama, where he was also a scholarship athlete, competing on the swimming and diving team.

Alan feels lucky to call Santa Barbara his home and spends his free time at the beach, playing tennis and surfing. In addition, he enjoys getting involved in the community by speaking to elementary school students eager to learn about the science of Meteorology and the world of broadcasting.
