Welcome to Venice Florida’s Friendly Weather Service or VeniceFloridasFWS for short OR VFFWS for even shorter!
Starting back in November 2021 as a Facebook page this service has been a reliable source of weather information. Reaching up to 70,000 people during hurricane Ian, it was safe to say people trusted the lifesaving information that this service was posting on a 24/7 basis.
Here you will find accurate, no hype and simple to understand weather related content for the greater Sarasota county region with a specific focus on Venice itself. Coverage also may extend beyond Sarasota County during times of need.
About Joey
"Hi! My name is Joseph or Joey for short."
Currently, I am a part time Florida, part time New Yorker (Upstate). My grandparents spend the winter months in Venice and for the past few years I have had the pleasure of doing the same. I’ve been visiting Venice since birth for the most part and know it very well.
I’ve always had a passion for weather since elementary school. After graduating high school I did 1.5 years of community college and then transferred to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, FL to pursue 2 more years in order to obtain my Bachelor’s in Meteorology. Graduated in May of 2021.
In my spare time I enjoy sitting by the pool and soaking up the Sun along with watching the sunsets at the jetty or beach!
