Reed Timmer (born March 17, 1980) is an American meteorologist and storm chaser who starred on Discovery Channel's reality television series Storm Chasers.[1] On the series, Reed followed severe weather with his TornadoVideos.Net team in their vehicle, the SRV Dominator. He previously starred in the documentary film Tornado Glory[2] and subsequently the web series Tornado Chasers following the cancellation of the Discovery Channel show. He was featured in an interview on a bonus feature for the "Into The Storm" Blu-ray.
Timmer became interested in the weather at a young age, after experiencing a severe thunderstorm that reportedly dropped golfball-sized hail in his yard. After graduating from Forest Hills Central High School in Grand Rapids, MI, in 1998, he began studying meteorology at the University of Oklahoma (OU). In October of that year, he filmed his first tornado.[3]In April 2013, Reed joined KFOR-TV's 4WARN Storm Team as a storm chaser, and his SRV Dominator 2 as 4WARN Dominator 4.[4] Reed graduated with his Ph.D. in Meteorology from the OU in the spring of 2015.[citation needed] He is married to Fox News Channel meteorologist Maria Molina.
