Sean Potter | Meteorologist ★ Weather Historian

I am a meteorologist, science writer, and weather historian whose career has included work for ABC News/Good Morning America, the National Weather Service, and NASA. I hold degrees from St. Cloud State University and Indiana University, along with AMS certifications in both consulting and broadcast meteorology—one of only about 15 people with active certifications in both areas.

I am a contributing editor of Weatherwise, where my “Retrospect” column has explored weather history for more than 20 years. My work has also appeared in USA TODAY, and I have been interviewed by the BBC, The Weather Channel, The New York Times, and others. My debut book, Too Near for Dreams, was named an Academic Best Seller by Library Journal.

I am also the founder of National Meteorologists Day, celebrated each year on May 9.
