Cantore was brought up in White River Junction, Vermont. He graduated from Lyndon State College in 1986, earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Meteorology. The Weather Channel hired him right after his graduation in July the same year, and he has remained with the company ever since. Throughout his career, he has become one of the most popular TV faces and accrued a significant fortune. He is recognized for his ability to explain complex weather events in simple language, making him a familiar figure to the public.

Although known for his live reports on major weather events, Cantore’s work has extended to other fields, such as developing the “Fall Foliage Forecast”, which was well received. His successful career led him to be called a “rock star of meteorologists” by Algis Laukaitis in the Lincoln Journal Star. His professionalism was demonstrated during an incident in January 2014, when he was attacked by a student while reporting live at the College of Charleston in Charleston, South Carolina, yet he continued to report normally.

Apart from his reports for TWC, Jim has covered significant events such as the Space Shuttle Discovery launch, PGA tournaments, NFL games, and the “Winter X Games”. He is a member of the National Weather Association and the American Meteorological Society, and in 2002, he was awarded the NOAA- David S. Johnson Award for his innovative use of environmental satellite technology.

Another one of his activities includes narrating TWC’s series “Storm Stories”. He also hosted weather segments for NBC during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

Jim’s connection to TWC brought him not only professional but also personal success, as it was there that he met his wife Tamra Cantore. The couple married in 1990 in Vermont and have a daughter and a son. However, it wasn’t until the birth of their children that Jim found out that his wife suffers from Parkinson’s disease and both their children have Fragile X syndrome. This led Cantore to dedicate himself to charity work concerned with both diseases. However, Jim divorced Tamra in 2009 and has been dating Andrea Butera since 2010. Apart from this, he is devoted to Make-a-Wish Foundation events and served as a celebrity cabinet member with the American Red Cross.
