Paul Deanno

Paul Deanno has won five Emmy Awards for his work as a broadcast meteorologist in some of the largest television markets in the country. He is also the first broadcast meteorologist to do the weather on all three network morning newscasts: CBS This Morning, Good Morning America (ABC), and The Today Show (NBC).

Deanno joined CBS News Los Angeles in February 2023 after spending three years forecasting blizzards, heat waves, and severe weather for WMAQ-TV in Chicago.  Previous to that, Paul served as Chief Meteorologist for CBS-owned KPIX-TV in San Francisco from 2012-19.  Deanno has also worked as a broadcast meteorologist for stations in Seattle, Miami, Philadelphia, Spokane, and Medford.

Paul has literally spanned the globe covering the weather. He's flown with the Hurricane Hunters, hiked deep into Glacier National Park to investigate global warming's impact on the ecosystem there, and he's broadcasted from the middle of the Atlantic Ocean onboard the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier for a report on how the military creates its forecasts. 

Paul's favorite part of his job, however, is spending time with students at local elementary schools. That's the place where he has the most fun sharing his passion for the weather. It's also the reason why Paul started researching the amazing weather facts he used in his first book, "WOW! Weather!".  His series of children's books now includes titles covering hurricanes, snow, and the weather in outer space.

You can catch Paul's forecast weekdays from 7:00 - 10:00 am & 11:00 am - 1:00 pm.
