Emmy-Winning TV Weatherman Joins Popular CT News Station

CONNECTICUT — A former intern-made-good is returning to the green screen on a popular Connecticut weathercast.

NBC Connecticut has named Anthony Carpino as its new weekday meteorologist. Carpino was most recently the weatherman at News 12 NBC 26 in Augusta, GA. He takes over from Josh Cingarnelli, who departed the news station earlier this year after six years to take a job at the Connecticut Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security.

Carpino was an intern in the weather department at West Hartford-based NBC Connecticut for three months in 2018, according to his LinkedIn page. He next spent a year-and-a-half in Vermont as a meteorologist for News7 in Lyndonville. In September 2019, he moved down South and into his new gig in Augusta, where he has been forecasting the weather for close to four years.

The Georgia Association of Broadcasters named Carpino's crew at News7 the "Best Weather Team" in October 2022. Last month, the meteorologist won a Southeast Emmy for his work reporting on an outbreak of tornadoes earlier that year.

"I've worn many different hats during my 3 years in Augusta. I started as the weekend morning met/mmj, moved up to the weekend evening show, and now I'm the weekday evening meteorologist for our 'first at 4' hour newscast," Carpino posted on LinkedIn. "When it comes to severe weather, I've been responsible for keeping the public safe on TV, social media, and posting the latest information to our weather app. I've covered 2 tornado outbreaks and have reported on damage from several large tornados."

NBC Connecticut meteorologist Ryan Hanrahan welcomed Carpino to his new/old team online Sunday.

"He'll be on this weekend at 6 and 11 but most of the time you'll see him during the week at 11 a.m. and again with me at 4 and 5 p.m.," Hanrahan posted.
