Ginger Zee is not just a weather girl. She’s a seasoned meteorologist, science nerd and storm chaser who honed her skills while on the air with NBC in Chicago — picture Helen Hunt in “Twister,” but with actual scientific chops. “That movie was great for shedding light on storm chasing, but the actual science was pretty bad,” laughs Zee. “It’s comical in the real storm-chasing world.”
