Dr. Erika Navarro is a prominent on-camera meteorologist at The Weather Channel, bringing her expertise to viewers across the nation. She recently joined the network after completing her M.S. and Ph.D. in Atmospheric Sciences at the esteemed University of Washington.

During her doctoral studies, Dr. Navarro delved into the intricate realm of hurricanes, specifically exploring the influence of daylight and evening conditions on their intensity. Her research in this field has contributed valuable insights into the behavior of these powerful storms.

Hailing from Piscataway, NJ, Dr. Navarro embarked on her weather journey at Wellesley College, where she pursued studies in physics and Spanish. Throughout her academic journey, she served as an intern at The Weather Channel, supporting the expert team during the challenging hurricane seasons of 2013 and 2014.

Dr. Navarro’s fascination with weather traces back to her formative years, ignited by the profound impact Hurricane Floyd (1999) had on her hometown. When not engaging viewers on camera, she finds joy in reading, cherishing moments with family and friends, and immersing herself in the great outdoors.
She has a fondness for coffee, particularly brewed in a french press, and embraces clean eating. While she once enjoyed playing sports, multiple knee injuries have led her to explore activities such as climbing, cycling, and yoga.
