While in college, Steve spent his summers interning at WVUE-TV in New Orleans, learning the broadcast side of meteorology.  Close-calls with a few hurricanes, along with covering a couple of big flooding events, were enough to convince him to pursue a career in TV. Caparotta landed his first job as a broadcast meteorologist at KPLC-TV in Lake Charles, LA in 1999.  After two years there, he moved to a much bigger television market, accepting a position with WIS-TV in Columbia, SC.  Feeling the draw of home, Steve accepted a job with his current employer, WAFB-TV in Baton Rouge, LA, in 2003. Since landing in Baton Rouge, Steve has successfully completed a M.S. in Geography/Climatology at LSU.  He finished his master's degree with a perfect 4.0 GPA.  His thesis, relating something known as the Madden-Julian Oscillation to hurricane frequencies, can be seen here.
