Your New Role… CNN Weather is seeking a dynamic meteorologist and self‑describing weather nerd to expand our forecasting and explanatory coverage across platforms. This role sits at the heart of our mission — translating complex atmospheric science into clear, compelling and trustworthy stories that audiences rely on every day. The ideal candidate is a strong writer who thrives in the breaking news environment, can deliver level‑headed expertise in weather and earth science, and knows how to engage audiences on digital platforms. You’ll deliver real‑time forecasts and nowcasts, help create on‑demand videos, and work with the team to produce daily forecasts and write sharp, accurate stories and features. You will also contribute to durable, evergreen and service‑oriented content that answers common audience questions about preparedness, safety and the mechanics of the atmosphere. Their work will help define the voice and authority of CNN Weather as a daily destination. The successful candidate thrives in a fast‑paced news environment and understands how to communicate urgency during high‑impact weather events while maintaining clarity and calm authority.

Participate in live Q&As, incorporate audience questions into our coverage and adapt in the moment as conditions change. Partner with video producers/editors and motion graphics to build compelling, data‑rich visuals that help audiences understand risk and impact. Shape secondary story ideas and angles around the weather story of the moment, e.g. expanding drought in the American West; deadly “monsoon on steroids” in South Asia; glacier outburst flooding in Alaska. File clean, crisp copy on the first draft and be comfortable switching between quick updates and high‑concept enterprise as news demands. Qualifications & Experience… A degree in meteorology.
