Arguably the most well-known meteorologist on television, Jim Cantore is the face of America’s weather authority, The Weather Channel.

Though he is best known for his live field coverage of major weather events (such as Hurricanes Sandy, Matthew, Irma, Michael, Dorian, and Laura), his contributions span well beyond severe weather field reporting. He has reported from events such as the Space Shuttle Discovery launch, the “Winter X Games,” PGA tournaments, and NFL games. Cantore was in London hosting weather segments for NBC during the Summer Olympics and is a frequent contributor to NBC programs such as Nightly News with Lester Holt, TODAY, and multiple MSNBC shows. Cantore also serves as host to many original productions on The Weather Channel, including the award-winning Storm Stories, the network’s first signature long-form series, as well as Cantore Stories.

Jim Cantore was elected Fellow of the American Meteorological Society. He has also been inducted into the Weather Hall of Fame at the National Weather Museum and Science Center. Most recently, Jim received a News and Documentary Emmy® for his role in The Weather Channel’s Immersive Mixed Reality storytelling which depicted the danger of tornadoes.

  A sought after speaker, Cantore has served as a celebrity ambassador for the American Red Cross, enabling him to further spread the message of preparedness, an issue of vital importance to him that carries over from his work. He has also appeared in a series of public service announcements for FEMA on the importance of preparing your home and family for severe weather. Through The Weather Channel, Cantore lends his famous face to L.L. Bean, as a celebrity endorser, and since 2019 has appeared in promotional commercials for brands such as Generac Power Systems.

Cantore’s ability to explain to viewers the scientific cause-and-effect of the weather transcends from meteorology to journalism, making him a household name and fan favorite. When not in the field, he covers the latest forecast and weather news on Weather Center Live.
