Amanda Sinning

“Understanding the benefits and limitations of numerical weather models is crucial to how I forecast. The highest quality weather forecasts always start with an understanding of meteorological fundamentals and leveraging collaborative insights.”

Amanda joined the CWG team after completing her Master’s degree in Atmospheric Science at North Carolina State University. She has always had an interest in applying meteorological knowledge to real-world situations, which was reinforced by conducting stakeholder-driven research related to tropical cyclone impacts at NC State. Amanda has ample experience with short, medium, and long-range forecasting from her various internships. During her undergraduate degree at the University of Georgia, she interned with the National Weather Service offices in Huntsville, Alabama and Peachtree City, Georgia. She also interned with the Raleigh, North Carolina office during graduate school in summer 2024. In addition to her operational forecasting knowledge, she has experience running numerical weather models for research, giving her an advanced understanding of the inner workings of this crucial weather forecasting tool. Amanda is dedicated to using her various skillsets to provide robust forecasts for both the energy and agricultural sectors. She looks forward to helping CWG’s clients manage weather-related risk.

Nabeel Keblawi

Nabeel has been fascinated by weather and climate since childhood, inspired by snowstorms and extreme weather events that sparked a lifelong passion for understanding complex atmospheric patterns. He earned his B.S. in Information Technology at Rochester Institute of Technology and an M.S. in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences from the University of Maryland at College Park. Nabeel has since gained over 15 years of experience working in the energy and weather industries. During his tenure at EDP Renewables, Nabeel combined his meteorological expertise with software engineering to develop statistical models that improved wind energy production forecasts. Today, Nabeel enjoys leveraging weather data along with statistics and machine learning to help energy and agricultural clients make data-driven decisions faster and with more confidence.

Cade Groman

“I look forward to forecasts that test my knowledge as a meteorologist, so I can continue to improve and provide the best possible products for our clients.”

Cade recently joined the CWG team after graduating with a BS in Atmospheric Science from The Pennsylvania State University. Early on at Penn State, Cade took an interest in weather risk management, and pursued that option of the meteorology major, while getting a minor in energy business and finance. Cade also partook in The Campus Weather Service at Penn State, where he led forecasting shifts to make daily forecasts for local clients and made broadcast videos that were uploaded to their YouTube channel. Before the start of his senior year, Cade interned for a summer at the National Weather Service in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he had his first experience as an operational meteorologist. His interests include providing short, medium, and long-range forecasts for both energy and agricultural sectors.

Sean Bratton

“I utilize a wide variety of forecasting tools to develop the most accurate and up-to-date forecasts possible. My goal is to continuously strive to provide the best services I can for our clients.”

Sean recently joined the CWG team after a 10-year career as a Physics and Meteorology instructor where he honed his skills as a communicator.  Before teaching, Sean received his BS in Atmospheric Science from the University at Albany and his MS from Stony Brook University. His first experience in forecasting came as an intern meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Albany, and then later as an operational forecaster at Chesapeake Energy. Sean is a recent graduate from the University of Illinois program in Weather/Climate Risk and Data Analytics and has been actively involved as a forecaster and software product developer in the sports weather space. His interests include providing short, medium, and sub-seasonal energy forecasts and helping to support wind/solar generation forecasts across North America.

Matthew Toadvine

Matthew has always enjoyed studying the weather from a young age. Hurricane Katrina bolstered this interest in the weather which led him to pursue a career in meteorology. After working several years in emergency services, Matthew obtained his B.S. in Meteorology and M.S. in Earth Sciences from UNC Charlotte. His graduate research focused on updating the climatological record of tropical cyclone-induced tornadoes and analyzing their mesoscale environments. He enjoys analyzing complex meteorological data and presenting that data in ways that are easy to understand by all.
