Glenn "Hurricane" Schwartz is a meteorologist for NBC10's First Alert weather team. You can watch Glenn’s live forecasts weekdays during the 11 a.m., and 5 p.m. newscasts.

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Glenn has been covering the Greater Philadelphia area for over 24 years.

He’s dedicated to providing accurate and reliable forecasts to viewers. Some of his most memorable reporting includes his live coverage during Superstorm Sandy, Hurricane Floyd, and the Blizzard of 1996.

Glenn was the first “storm chaser” for the Weather Channel. He received his nickname, “Hurricane,” after a colleague saw footage of him being blown around in a storm. The nickname stuck and he has been known as “Hurricane” ever since.

He graduated from Penn State in 1972 with a Bachelors of Science in Meteorology. On his first day of work, he covered Hurricane Andrew from Fort Myers, Florida.

Glenn loves being a meteorologist in the Greater Philadelphia area. "Weather changes all the time. We get all types of weather too. It’s always a challenge," said Glenn.
