Ahmad Bajjey Early Life
Ahmad’s interest in weather came with a literal bang. When he was younger, a large storm system moved through southeast Michigan and pummeled the Detroit area, with lightning hitting so close to his home it turned a tree on his street to splinters. On that day he fell in love with the weather, and watching meteorologists such as Chuck Gaidica and Paul Gross on WDIV in Detroit helped him decide the broadcasting route was best for him.
Ahmad Bajjey Career
To Ahmad, Michigan is the best place to be a meteorologist. We have 4 distinct seasons (usually), and a chance for everything from tornadoes to blizzards.
His career in Mid-Michigan has brought him from tornado damage paths in Genesee Township to covering heavy floods in Sanford and Midland, and even chasing a tornado through West Branch and Hale while on the way back from filming a segment for NBC25’s Road Trippin’.
He also loves being able to visit schools and share his passion for weather with students. No matter what career they want to choose, Ahmad always says to follow your dreams and never give up.

Ahmad Bajjey Science Club: Dry Ice
Article by Ahmad Bajjey;
Dry ice, or frozen carbon dioxide, is both absurdly cold and also incredibly handy to have.
It works better than ice at keeping things cold, and it also has a very neat trait of going straight from a solid to a gas.
We visited Mcgrath Elementary School in Grand Blanc to try out a couple of experiments using dry ice.
CAUTION: Always wear protective insulated gloves when handling dry ice.
