Future plans: Cornett and her husband love to travel and want to retire in 5 to 7 years and live abroad, perhaps in rural Spain. “I want to live in a place with great weather,” she said.
To forward severe weather reports to viewers: “They appreciate that I’m serious about the weather, coming through without jumping up and down and screaming that the sky is falling. I think they appreciate that I am able to be strict without scaring them. I’m not interested in pulling something together to make it bigger than it is. “
