Who's Chris Cimino

Hello my friends, my name is Chris Cimino and I'm a TV meteorologist/host at WPIX11, NYC. I'm also a blogger(What's Next Chris) and podcaster(Bleav In Middle Age Warriors).

I started this blog about 4 years ago after having my 24 year career with WNBC in NYC, come to an end. Nearly 21 of those years were as the early morning meteorologist for Today In New York, the newscast that preceded the Today Show. Over the years I had the privilege of filling in for Al Roker on the Today Show, as well as a two year run as the regular Saturday morning meteorologist for the Weekend Today Show.

As of July 2019, I found myself unemployed for the first time since I was 19 years old. Suffice to say, that was a little more than a couple of years ago. I’ve been through a lot in the last 10+ years of my life. Some of it quite good, some quite difficult. The path wasn't always easy and I often feel the burn of still trying to rise from the ashes of my past life.

I've learned two big lessons in this process. To forgive myself and others and to trust myself more. Short sentences.....long processes. I hope you will rejoin me again on this journey through what I will call upper mid-life. If I can help or inspire one person along the way, then this is all worth it.

Despite being a meteorologist for over 40 years, I leave you with this. Yesterday doesn't predict today.......and today doesn't predict tomorrow. For now, today is our moment. Thanks for getting this far.....The best is still to come!
