February 26, 2025 – Atlanta, GA – Veteran meteorologist and longtime Weather Channel host Jen Carfagno has been nominated for two of the most prestigious honors in broadcasting and meteorology: the American Meteorological Society (AMS) Award for Broadcast Meteorology and the Edward R. Murrow Lifetime Achievement Award.
Carfagno, a staple of The Weather Channel for over two decades, has been recognized for her contributions to weather education, her engaging on-air presence, and her ability to communicate complex meteorological concepts to the public. The AMS Award for Broadcast Meteorology acknowledges her excellence in weather broadcasting, while the Edward R. Murrow Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes her impact on electronic journalism.
“I’m incredibly honored to be considered for these awards,” Carfagno said in a statement. “Weather is more than just forecasts—it’s about helping people understand and prepare for the world around them. I’ve dedicated my career to making meteorology accessible, and this recognition is truly humbling.”
Colleagues and fans have taken to social media to celebrate Carfagno’s nominations, with many praising her for her tireless work covering extreme weather events and championing weather education initiatives.
The winners of both awards will be announced later this year. If Carfagno wins, she will join a distinguished group of meteorologists and journalists who have left an indelible mark on their industries.
