In November 2019, Sartre was promoted to anchor the morning weather broadcast, a position he held until June 2022.
Sartre’s first experience with severe weather was in November 2005, during his time at middle school in Ogden, Iowa, when a tornado broke out. The strongest tornado affected the Satre family’s acreage and Stratford town, while the others damaged parts of Woodward & forced a pre-game evacuation of Jack Trice Stadium in Ames. This event collectively together with the number of times he spent with his parents, sparked an interest in weather in Sartre.
