Sarah Coleman
Weekend Meteorologist/MMJ
WTAP
Sarah Coleman started June 2022 as the Weekend Meteorologist and a reporter for
WTAP. She graduated from Millersville University with a degree in Meteorology and a minor in Mathematics.
In her free time she likes to catch up on tv shows and occasionally go for a walk, when
the weather is nice. When she is home visiting family, Sarah enjoys playing with her dog.
She has always been fascinated with weather and she believes helping at hot air balloon festivals contributed to her love of weather and the sky. What really steered her interest in becoming a meteorologist was seeing what she
believed were three tornadoes in Nebraska in 2009.
