Jeremy Lewan

Jeremy Lewan is a multifaceted and diverse trailblazer, breaking stereotypes in the broadcast meteorology, fashion modeling, and oceanographic research worlds. He’s wanted to be a meteorologist since he was 5 years old, and he is now the evening weekday and weekend meteorologist for the WNEP-TV Stormtracker 16 weather team in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He is the only long-haired on-air male meteorologist in America. He spearheaded a brand new initiative at his station to prepare and produce weekly written and oral Spanish weather broadcasts to ensure Hispanic communities remain informed and safe. He also writes, films, edits, and produces his own segment called "Jeremy's Journeys," where he showcases events and places unique to Central and Northeastern Pennsylvania. Jeremy has interned with Al Roker on the TODAY Show, won a top-prize scholarship from the American Meteorological Society, and has received nothing less than an A in every class since kindergarten. Jeremy also serves as an ambassador for the STEMSEAS (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, Student Experiences Aboard Ships) Program, speaking at conferences around the country to raise awareness for the initiative and educating students about the many career possibilities available in the geosciences. He is an avid eclipse enthusiast, and as a NASA Partner Eclipse Ambassador, he aims to share eclipse science and safety with his viewers and community through multilingual broadcasts. Jeremy has always been inspired and encouraged to pursue his passions, and he aims to encourage others by dismantling long-outdated stereotypes and serving as a role model for students who look like him, thus championing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the geoscience realm.
