Mark Nelsen's coverage is predominantly focused on local weather, with a high emphasis on seasonal updates. His articles often revolve around the impact of specific weather patterns and their effects on communities. Given this focus, he may be interested in insights from meteorologists or experts who can provide detailed analysis related to upcoming weather events, particularly those that could have significant impacts on local areas.
It's important to note that Mark focuses primarily on the United States, Oregon, Beaverton area. Therefore, pitches should cater to his local geographic focus and offer information relevant to the specific region’s weather patterns and potential implications for residents.
Given the emphasis on seasonal topics like rain and snow alongside general themes such as house & home (presumably related to how people are affected by the weather), it would be beneficial for outreach efforts to emphasize practical tips or expert advice tailored specifically for locals dealing with these seasonal changes.

August wraps up with three hot days, not dangerously hot but enough for a First Alert Day Saturday
By: Mark Nelsen
What a change! Hot early this weekend and not clouds/drizzle have cooled temperatures about 30 degrees. September heat returns later this week
We are on a weather roller-coaster; 30 degrees cooler today vs. Saturday. Now we're headed uphill into another late-season heat wave this week
By: Mark Nelsen
A September heat wave arrives Wednesday afternoon with temperatures soaring into the low-mid 90s. Then the real heat, along with some hazy skies and fire smoke, settles in Thursday and Friday
Today was the hottest September day in 36 years! Temperatures cool just a couple degrees Friday, then much cooler weather arrives over the weekend
Here is the First Alert FOX 12 weather forecast for the evening of Thursday, Sept. 5, 2024.
t’s a hot and hazy afternoon with temperatures around 90 degrees at 3pm. Due to thick fire smoke and lack of hot east wind, temperatures ARE running cooler today. We top out between 95-98 degrees between 5-6pm. Temperatures drop into the 80s during high school football games so not excessively hot after dark, but plenty warm!

You can sure tell it’s fall when skies are sunny at mid-afternoon, but the temperature is only 70 degrees. It’s a beautiful end to the workweek with just a few high clouds drifting by through the evening and overnight hours. High school football games won’t see any weather concerns under mainly clear skies and light wind. Temperatures will be in the 60s for those games.
It’s a cool early fall day out there with temperatures running below normal for mid-September. We’ve struggled to reach 70 degrees when mid-upper 70s is common this time of year. This is due to the persistent cloud cover. Those clouds should dissipate tonight, leaving us with another chilly morning Monday. This morning’s 50-degree low was the coolest in several months.

Just 9-10 days ago we had an early September heat wave in progress but temperatures have been heading downhill since that time. Today in Portland it was the coolest day in 3 weeks. Time for a fire season checkup and see what's ahead as we head into late September
