- “Weathering Love: Jen Carfagno’s Balancing Act Between Career and Family”
Jen Carfagno’s career at The Weather Channel has been a dream come true, but it has also come with sacrifices—especially in her personal life. As a morning show meteorologist, her days start long before the sun rises, often at 3 AM. While the world sleeps, she’s already at work, preparing for the day’s forecasts.
This schedule has meant missing school drop-offs, family breakfasts, and lazy weekend mornings with her husband and daughters. There were nights when she’d come home exhausted, only to find handwritten notes from her daughters saying, “We missed you, Mom.” Those moments broke her heart.
Yet, through it all, her family has been her biggest support system. Her husband has held everything together at home, ensuring their daughters always feel loved and cared for. And despite the early mornings and long hours, Jen has found ways to make it work—cherishing every moment she gets with her family, whether it’s a quick hug before bedtime or a weekend escape to enjoy the outdoors.
At the end of the day, she knows she’s setting an example for her daughters: that passion and dedication matter, but love and family will always be the anchor that keeps her steady—no matter how strong the
storm.
