Meteorology runs in the family
Evidently, the fact that Morgan chose meteorology is no coincidence, and it could be said that meteorology runs in the family since her aunt Sally Severson was a long-time weather anchor, with over 30 years of experience in the field! She was a meteorologist at WISN in Milwaukee, and it seems that she had a lot of influence on Morgan’s choices in life, as she was always taking Morgan with her to work, and by showing her the ropes, prepared her niece for what awaited her in the future.

Of course, it seems as there was no doubt in Morgan’s mind, and a year or so later the couple got married; they don’t have any kids yet.
