Anthony Yanez explains what it takes to get a hot air balloon in the air.
This morning on the KPRC 2+ Now livestream at 9 a.m. our meteorologist, Anthony Yanez, joined the show while on vacation to show us what his view looked like.
Yanez is at the 51st annual Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Unlike in Houston where there will be a partial solar eclipse, he will be standing right on the center line where the ring of fire will be visible. In the show, he explained his personal connection to the event and what it takes to get a hot air balloon up in the air.
He also talked about his 16-year-old daughter’s first flight up in the balloon among the coolest characters in the sky.During the eclipse tomorrow, Yanez will see hundreds of balloons light up between 10:34 a.m. to 10:39 a.m. making for an incredible view of hot air balloons and an eclipse.Two-time Emmy award winning meteorologist and recipient of the 2022 American Meteorological Society’s award for Excellence in Science Reporting by a Broadcast Meteorologist.
