Jen Carfagno and Husband Neil McGillis Say Goodbye to Pennsylvania as She Takes on Bold New Weather Role
Philadelphia, PA — After years of calling Pennsylvania home, beloved meteorologist Jen Carfagno and her husband Neil McGillis are packing their bags for a new chapter, as Jen embarks on her most challenging role yet in the world of meteorology.
Known for her calm presence and in-depth weather expertise on The Weather Channel, Jen recently announced she will be stepping into a groundbreaking leadership role at the National Weather Innovation Center — a cutting-edge research facility focused on climate resilience and extreme weather forecasting.
“This isn’t just a new job; it’s a mission,” Jen shared in an emotional farewell segment on AMHQ. “I’ve spent my career warning people about what’s coming. Now, I get to be part of shaping how we predict and respond to our planet’s most dangerous storms.”
The move to Boulder, Colorado, where the Innovation Center is based, marks a major shift for the Carfagno-McGillis family. Neil, who has long worked behind the scenes in the weather technology industry, expressed both excitement and sentimentality about the transition. “Pennsylvania has been home for so long, but this is an opportunity for Jen to make an even bigger impact — and I couldn’t be prouder,” he said.
Friends and neighbors gathered for a heartfelt send-off, complete with a community barbecue and plenty of weather-themed gifts. Fans flooded social media with well-wishes, many calling Jen a “national treasure” in the world of weather broadcasting.
As the couple heads west, Jen promises this isn’t a goodbye to TV entirely. “I’ll still be around — just in a different capacity. And trust me, I’ll have plenty of storm stories to share.”
The world now watches with anticipation as Jen takes her passion for weather to a whole new level, leaving Pennsylvania behind but carrying its spirit with her into this bold new adventure.
