Meteorologist Robert Johnson will join Philadelphia NBC owned station (WCAU) NBC10’s First Alert Weather team. The Phildelphia native starts Monday, January 20.

“We are excited to have Robert join NBC10 and return to his hometown of Philadelphia,” said Elizabeth Flores, vice president of news for NBC10 and Telemundo62. “His commitment to providing accurate and engaging weather coverage makes him a great addition to the First Alert weather team. As someone who grew up in our area, Robert has a unique understanding of our community and the weather patterns that impact the Greater Philadelphia region.”

Johnson comes from WTVD in Raleigh, North Carolina, where he was the weekend evening meteorologist for nearly five years. Before that, he interned in the news and weather department at WPVI in Philadelphia and also interned in the weather department for WTXF in Philadelphia.

“I’m thrilled to join the NBC10 First Alert weather team and return to work and forecast the weather in my hometown,” said Johnson. “When it comes to weather, the Philadelphia region has it all: four seasons and various microclimates, such as city, suburbs, Jersey Shore/Delaware beaches, Lehigh Valley and the Poconos. It can make for a challenging forecast but keeps you on your toes.”
