JENNIFER WATSON

She has spent her career tracking extreme weather, delivering life-saving forecasts, and sharing the power of storms with audiences worldwide.

She earned a Bachelor of Science in Geography (with a minor in Mathematics) from East Carolina University and later obtained a Master of Science in Geoscience with an emphasis in Broadcast Meteorology from Mississippi State University.

Alongside her work in broadcasting, she is a co-host of Storm Front Freaks, one of the top-rated geoscience and weather podcasts in the world. She also speaks professionally on weather, climate change, and social media strategy, inspiring the next generation of meteorologists.
