Gary England is the chief meteorologist for KWTV Channel 9, the CBS affiliate in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. England was possibly the first on-air meteorologist to alert his viewers of a possible tornado using a commercial Doppler weather radar. He is also known for contributing to the invention of the First Warning map graphic commonly used to show ongoing weather alerts without interrupting regular programming. England was born on October 3, 1939, in Seiling, Oklahoma. After graduating high school, England joined the U.S. Navy at age 17, where he first began to study weather seriously. He attended the University of Oklahoma and graduated in 1965 with a mathematics degree with a meteorology option. Gary then spent four years as a consulting meteorologist and oceanographer with A.H. Glenn and Associates in New Orleans.
