Mark Baden Career

The WeatherWatch 12 team has also been voted the most accurate local forecast by Milwaukee Magazine.
In addition, Baden has had an opportunity to cover the weather across our area and around the country. On July 22nd floods he had a first-hand account reporting live and was there the first to report Interstate 43 closed due to four feet of water covering I-43 in Glendale and seeing a police officer rescue a pregnant mother and her child from a flooded car.
That same storm flew a mattress across Port Washington Road right in front of his location. He has covered two hurricanes for WISN. Baden watched the destruction first-hand of Hurricane Frances in 2004, from Cocoa Beach, Florida and Hurricane Rita in Beaumont, Texas in 2005.
