Amy Sweezey is an award-winning meteorologist, author, and public speaker. She spent her entire TV career in full-time broadcast news before leaving in 2020 to pursue her “What’s Next” after realizing that reinventing herself didn’t have an expiration date.
Amy was chosen from dozens of applicants to share her story, Reinvention at Any Age, at TEDxEustis 2024.
She now focuses on public speaking and providing media services for various companies worldwide. As Founder and CEO of Social Weather, LLC, her portfolio includes Carnival Cruise Line, Growing Bolder, Convention News Television, and forecasting for nationwide local affiliates of ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, and Spectrum News.
Amy graduated magna cum laude from Loyola University Chicago before continuing her meteorological studies at Mississippi State University. Amy holds the prestigious Certified Broadcast Meteorologist seal awarded by the American Meteorological Society and the National Weather Association Seal of Approval.
She is a proud recipient of multiple “Best Weathercast” and “Best Weather Reporting” awards from the Florida Associated Press, and in 2018 the National Weather Association named Amy "Broadcaster of the Year."
Amy was elected to the National Weather Association’s Board of Directors in 2022 and again in 2025, and is currently serving her second 3-year term. She has authored two children’s books about weather, one fiction, and one nonfiction, and created two weather workbooks for elementary school students based on Florida’s state standards for science and weather.
Amy has three adult children and lives in Seminole County, Florida with her husband.
A self-proclaimed introvert who talks for a living, Amy loves to create quiet space whenever possible, and just.... be.
