Meteorologist Jacqui Jeras Balances Career and Family with Passion and Purpose
ATLANTA, GA – Renowned meteorologist Jacqui Jeras has spent over two decades keeping Americans informed about the weather, but at the heart of her life is something even more important—her family.
Jeras, known for her work with CNN and The Weather Channel, shares a strong bond with her husband, Mike, an aerospace engineer and pilot. Together, they are raising two children, Aurora and Ashton, instilling in them a love for science and adventure. Their daughter’s name, inspired by the Aurora Borealis, reflects the family’s deep appreciation for atmospheric wonders.
Beyond her on-air expertise, Jeras has been a vocal advocate for health awareness. In 2013, she made the courageous decision to undergo a preventive double mastectomy due to a family history of breast cancer—a choice that resonated with many women facing similar risks.
Jeras has been recognized for her Peabody Award-winning coverage of major weather events, including Hurricane Katrina and the Gulf Oil Spill, proving that her passion for meteorology extends far beyond the studio. But despite her busy career, she prioritizes family time, enjoying hiking and traveling with her loved ones.
“Weather may be unpredictable, but one thing is certain—family always comes first,” Jeras said in a recent interview.
With an impressive career and a strong, supportive family, Jacqui Jeras continues to inspire both as a meteorologist and a mother, proving that balancing work and personal life is possible with dedicatio
n and love.
