LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Watch out Marc Weinberg! A pint-sized meteorologist is coming for your job.
AJ Madden dressed up as a storm chaser for "Dress For Your Future Career" day at North Harrison Elementary School on Thursday.
The 6-year-old 1st grader from Depauw, Indiana, said Marc Weinberg is his favorite meteorologist, so his mom went to work taping leaves to a shirt and even created a custom WDRB microphone.
AJ's mom said he's been hooked on weather ever since a tornado touched down near their home.
"We were glued to the TV the whole time, and since then was really when he started being interested in watching newscasts," said Kelly Maynard.
When we asked AJ what gave him the idea to be a storm chaser, he said "funnel clouds."Â
AJ said he's going to be a tornado this Halloween.
