Career
Cantore, a native of Beacon Falls, Connecticut, was raised in White River Junction, Vermont, and graduated from Lyndon State College in 1986. In July of this year, the Weather Channel made him his first job out of college, and he has been with the Weather Channel since then. Cantore has established himself as one of television's most respected meteorologists. The Lincoln (Nebraska) Journal Star's Algis Laukaitis referred to Cantore as the "rock star of meteorologists."
Cantore has been lauded for his ability to "break down" complicated weather events into terms that the average viewer can comprehend. Cantore is often chosen to cover extreme weather events. Cantore has become a well-known figure in the Weather Channel since the ratings have risen during these events. In particular, viewers' connection with Cantore's presence with incoming or in progress severe weather events became so strong that the Weather Channel lampooned it in a one-minute 2011 commercial location, panicking nearby beachgoers and locals who regard him as an ominious warning.
Despite being best known for his live field coverage of major weather events (including Hurricane Ike, Gustav, Katrina, Isabel, Rita, Andrew, Floyd, Mitchell, Irene, Matthew, Irma, Dorian, Laura, and Ian), his contributions go far beyond traditional weather field reporting. He began working at TWC and created the audience's favorite Fall Foliage Forecast. He has covered topics such as the launch of the Space Shuttle Discovery, the "Winter X Games," PGA tournaments, NFL games, and others. Jim is a member of both the National Weather Association and the American Meteorological Society. He is the AMS Television Seal of Approval. In 2003, he received the NOAA-David S. Johnson Award for his pioneering use of environmental satellite technologies.
Cantore, in addition to live reporting for TWC, appears as the narrator on TWC's Storm Stories. Local On The 8s is also narrated (excluding the national version).
"Hello, this is meteorologist Jim Cantore of the Weather Channel," the Weather Channel's Stockton Thunder entrance video says.
Cantore has occasionally substituted on The Today Show for Al Roker following NBCUniversal's acquisition of The Weather Channel in 2008. During the 2012 Summer Olympics, he was also in London hosting weather segments for NBC.
