The IMAS sends a HUGE congratulations to KRGV Tim Smith on being named the 2026 FLASH National Weatherperson of the Year!

Tim Smith, Chief Meteorologist at Channel 5 News for more than 40 years and active community member, served on the IMAS Board of Trustees from 2006 to 2013 and held the position of Board President from 2009 to 2011. Alongside Kirk Clark, Tim is regarded as the co-father of Brew-seum presented by IMAS which has supported museum educational programs and exhibits for over 18 years. Tim continues to be an informal advisor, friend, and supporter of the museum, always with a mind toward serving the community.

In 2021, Tim was named the first members of the Brewseum Mug Club, a tribute to his genuine care and contributions to our mission. Then in 2024, Tim was honored at the Collage Annual Gala.

Tim steadfastly navigates the community through weather events and embodies “service over self” in every way.

Congratulations, Tim!
