Evan is a junior in meteorology from Schertz, TX. His favorite band is the Bear Naked Ladies and his favorite sport is curling. His favorite movie is Pokémon Ranger & The Temple of the Sea.
Evan’s favorite class so far at Iowa State has been MTEOR 2270. He has an interest in numerical data models. Evan’s favorite weather phenomena are clouds. Evan’s favorite part of AMS is community outreach. Outside of AMS and Cy’s Eyes, Evan is involved with intramural curling and volleyball and is a Pokémon TCG Judge.
One last fun fact about Evan is that he is a private pilot and flies small planes for fun in his spare time!

Our Forecast Chair for the 2025-26 academic year has been Sophie Miller! The role of the forecast chair is to organize events that encourage chapter members to improve their forecasting abilities and manage involvement in contests such as WxChallenge. Sophie is a senior in meteorology at Iowa State University. She is from Cincinnati, OH. Her favorite musical artist is Mother Mother, favorite movie is Wall-E, and favorite sport is tennis.
Sophie is interested in mesoscale dynamics with a focus on supercells and mesoscale convective systems. Her favorite classes in her time here at Iowa State have been Radar Meteorology and Dynamic Meteorology II. Her favorite part of AMS is being able to attend social events and the annual AMS conference.
One last fun fact about our forecast chair is that she once led a storm chasing caravan that found a six inch hailstone that they stored in a cooler and later cut open for research purposes!
