Meteorologist Ginger Zee is preparing for an incoming winter storm that is expected to blanket much of the United States this weekend. On Thursday, she shared a selfie video on Instagram, where she was enjoying the last of the sunny, above-freezing temperatures. Dressed casually in a hoodie and jeans, Zee expressed her appreciation for the mild weather while warning her followers of the drastic change ahead.
“Basking in the sun and low 40s because we will not get above 32 degrees from Friday evening through at least the beginning of February,” she wrote, while also crediting GMA’s senior meteorologist Samantha Wnek for the weather information. Zee included a map indicating freezing temperatures forecasted across the country, stating, “It’s about to get ugly for a prolonged period of cold.”
Fans quickly chimed in, resonating with her sentiments about the impending chill while also expressing admiration for her looks. Comments ranged from praises of her natural beauty to encouragement to enjoy the sunshine while it lasts. One user exclaimed, “Absolutely stunning!” while others affectionately dubbed her their “celeb crush.”
As the weather turns, many followers noted that while they might be gearing up for a snow day, Zee would be hard at work. Acknowledging the busy days ahead, one follower remarked, “This storm is going to keep you busy,” while another suggested, “Better have a good cup of coffee with ya!” Excitement bubbled among fans for what winter has in store, with one saying, “Bring it, we’re ready. Winter is here finally.”
Zee has already begun her coverage, appearing on “GMA” on Friday to provide updates on the storm and the significant drop in temperatures expected in various areas of the country. She cautioned viewers about the harsh conditions, noting, “that cold is brutal.” In a playful moment during the broadcast, Zee humorously asked a Florida correspondent if she could escape to Orlando, one of the few locations not impacted by the approaching winter storm.
As the country braces for the impending cold front, Zee remains a voice of hope and preparedness, reminding viewers to take care as winter settles in.
