![]() ![]() She always pointed to that experience as the first time she became fascinated by the weather. When Mish was in kindergarten, a tornado tore through her apartment complex down in Baltimore, Maryland. ![]() The fact that she chose meteorology was not by chance I believe it was meant to be. She could have been a leader in just about any industry. Mish could have done anything she wanted. She elevated and inspired those around her. She was the most prepared, diligent, and dedicated meteorologist that I have ever worked with. In a field dominated by men for decades, Mish was determined to pave the way for women meteorologists, not just here in Boston, but throughout the country. She became a household name while working at WHDH and then at WBZ from 2001-2009. She began her meteorology career on WMUR in Manchester but quickly made it to "the big time" in Boston. If you lived here in the 90s and early 2000's, you knew Mish Michaels. Most knew her from her many years on TV in Boston. She was one of those rare human beings that excelled at everything she did. Mish was so many things to so many people. For those that did, you know… there are simply no words. For those that didn't know her, I feel I cannot possibly portray just how amazingly brilliant she was. It seems anything I say about Mish Michaels just isn't enough. I feel like I could type a 1,000 page novel but yet I have no words. In the words of Mish's friend and colleague, WBZ-TV Executive Weather Producer Terry Eliasen:įor the first time in my 20 years at WBZ, I sit at my keyboard not knowing what to write. Mish had the ability to brighten up every room she entered, and we at WBZ are sending her family our love. ![]() In a statement posted on Facebook, Mish's husband called her a devoted mother, wife, daughter, auntie, friend, and stellar equestrian. Mish chased tornadoes, flew into hurricanes, and brightened our lives - always sharing her enthusiasm for science and weather. She began forecasting weather in the 1990s and joined us here at WBZ in 2001. Mish was a friendly, reliable, curious meteorologist who loved science. ![]()
