Adam Joseph
Adam, from a very young age, was obsessed with all types of weather. Instead of watching cartoons, the weather channel was a go-to. Between 4th and 8th grade, he went to school early each morning to participate in the "Weather Club," a group of students and a 6th-grade teacher who loved weather. Adam graduated from Lyndon State College with a Bachelor of Science degree in 2000. His first on-air experience came in 1998 when he forecasted and anchored the weather on LSC-TV. Looking back, he laughs at his green performance, but cherishes the experience Lyndon was able to give him prior to achieving a life dream.
Adam started his career at WBOY-TV as the Chief Meteorologist in Clarksburg, West Virginia. Shortly after, he landed a job with WSAZ-TV in Charleston-Huntington, West Virginia. It was there he received the prestigious AMS Seal of Approval for Television, as well as several awards for meteorology excellence. Four years later, he joined WPVI as the weekend meteorologist. He contributes to countless station specials, including the 6abc Dunkin' Thanksgiving Day Parade, The Flower Show preview special, and the Auto Show preview special, to name a few. Adam loves the balance of fulfilling a lifetime passion for weather while dipping into the entertainment world. Adam has filled in on ABC's Good Morning America dozens of times. Adam was first voted Philadelphia's Best Meteorologist by Philadelphia Magazine in 2009. That was followed by the honor of accepting the 40 under 40 award from the Philadelphia Business Journal for professional excellence and community involvement in 2011. Since then, Adam has won the "best of" multiple times for Main Line Today for best on-air meteorologist.
In Adam's eye, awards are great, but his biggest accomplishment came in 2014 when he and his husband, Karl, welcomed their son home. The announcement of Jacob's birth was a first for Philadelphia. Adam, Karl, and Jacob's story made the cover story for the Philadelphia Inquirer and was the first time an on-air personality officially came out to the public. Their story also made news across the world on many news platforms. In 2016, they welcomed their daughter Hannah to the family.
Adam is strongly committed to making a difference in the community and is involved with Hospice and the American Cancer Society. Adam enjoys weightlifting, running, biking, swimming, spending time with family, baking, gardening, and just making every day count. He participated in his first triathlon in Richwood, West Virginia in 2001, and has since completed more than a dozen triathlons. In 2013 alone, he completed 7 triathlons, the final being a 70.3 half ironman in Bear Delaware. It was a goal of his for more than 12 years. Although Adam no longer races, he feeds off the excitement watching his two kids participate in sports.
Adam's dream beyond forecasting the weather would be publishing a cookbook and having his own cooking/gardening show.
