If you’ve listened to KNCT for any length of time, chances are you’ve heard Bill Hecke guiding you through the day’s weather. With his easygoing style and deep knowledge of meteorology, Bill has become a familiar and trusted voice for Central Texans wanting to know what’s happening in the skies above them.

Bill’s interest in weather began growing up on a farm in Missouri, where changing seasons and open skies sparked a curiosity that would shape his career. After graduating from Brunswick High School, he joined the U.S. Air Force in 1963 and trained as a Weather Observer. In 1971, he achieved certification as a meteorologist and began a lifelong career studying and forecasting weather.

Over the years, Bill has shared his expertise with listeners across the region, delivering forecasts that are not only informative but also approachable and engaging. His reports on KNCT 91.3 FM, presented in partnership with McLane Intelligent Solutions, help listeners understand not just the forecast, but the weather patterns behind it.

When he’s not tracking fronts and storm systems, Bill also hosts Sunday Gathering on KNCT, a weekly program featuring uplifting music, thoughtful conversation, and a welcoming start to Sunday mornings.

With more than five decades of experience in meteorology, Bill continues to bring both knowledge and personality to every forecast. For many KNCT listeners, hearing Bill’s voice is simply part of the rhythm of the day — a friendly reminder of what to expect from the Central Texas skies.
