Quick Info

Intro

Somara Theodore, whose full name is Somara Lenore Theodore, was born on September 28, 1990, in Los Angeles, California, which makes her 34 years old today. She’s a first-generation American with Trinidadian roots, and right now, she’s best known as the meteorologist you catch on Good Morning America Weekend with ABC News.

Her career journey goes all the way back to 2013, when she, fresh out of Penn State University and nearly 23, landed her first on-air job as Weekend Meteorologist for WJCL ABC (May 2013 to May 2015). But, here is the thing: Somara’s career began long before then, with a string of research projects, internships, and on-the-ground weather training while she was still a college student.

Cue into this: she interned at five media outlets while still in college: Field Researcher for Penn State C.H.A.N.C.E (May – Jun 2011), Weather Intern at WUSA-TV (Jun – Aug 2011), Micrometeorology Research Assistant for NASA (Jun – Aug 2011), Weather Intern at WGCL/CBS46 (Jun-Aug 2012), and Operational Graphics Intern at The Weather Channel (Jun – Aug 2012).

And, oh, she even did research in China on air quality and Lake Taihu. So, yeah, before she ever stood in front of a news camera, she had already clocked hours of on-the-ground weather reports.

Now that’s the career back story… but let’s back it all the way up to where her story started: her early life.

Early Life

Somara Theodore was born on September 28, 1990, in Los Angeles, California. Her full name is Somara Lenore Theodore. Her parents are of Trinidadian descent; her mother’s name is Jacinth Theodore and her father’s name is Theodore.

She had one younger sister, Simone Theodore, who was born in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1994. Sadly, Simone passed away on October 9, 2024, after a yearlong battle with cancer at just 29 years old.

Now, Simone studied broadcast journalism at Oakwood University after attending Pine Forge Academy and was pursuing an acting career when she was diagnosed with cancer in October 2023. She passed away on October 9, 2024, at age 29.

Growing up, Somara lived in different parts of the U.S., New York, Pennsylvania, Hawaii, Georgia, and California. All those moves exposed her to all kinds of climates, and that’s what sparked her interest in meteorology from a young age.

She is a Libra, and even though she is American by birth, she grew up in a first-generation household, deeply connected to her Trinidadian heritage.

Education

Somara graduated high school in the summer of 2008, right before turning 18, and immediately enrolled at Penn State University. She graduated in 2013 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Meteorology, with minors in Energy Business, Finance, and Chinese.

And get this: she also speaks Mandarin Chinese at a simplified level. While at Penn State, she did research in China on Lake Taihu and joined the DISCOVER-AQ airborne science project, which focused on improving air quality.

Cue into this: Somara’s college years weren’t just about textbooks and lectures, they were filled with ofieldwork, labs, and multiple internships that pretty much built the foundation of her weather career.

Height, Weight

Ex-husband

Somara was previously married to Carl C. Scott. The two started dating in 2015, tied the knot in a private wedding in Kaneohe, Hawaii, in August 2019, and were together for a total of nine years; five of those as a married couple.

But in late 2024, just days after losing her sister, Simone, Somara filed for divorce. When she came back to social media after a yearlong break, she opened up about what she had been going through, writing:

“I’ve grappled thru the death and burial of my 29 year old sister. I’ve held myself gracefully thru my divorce. Dealt with external and internal injuries. And 3 of those happened inside of 10 days.”

New Partner & Pregnancy Journey

Life gave Somara Theodore a second chance at love. On January 8, 2025, she soft-launched her relationship with her current partner, who is also the father of her child. Just a few months later, on June 17, 2025, she announced that they were expecting their first baby together.

Things haven’t been easy though. On August 22, 2025, she shared that she had an “incompetent cervix,” which put her pregnancy at risk. Thankfully, after a successful surgery on August 30, she confirmed that her baby was safe, though she was placed on partial bed rest. She is due later in November/December 2025.

Her update that day read:

“Update: my partner, baby and I are doing well. As of now, I’m on bedrest moderately. While I’m happy this means baby’s growing safely, I do miss bringing you all your weather forecast. Hopefully, pretty soon, I’ll be able to do more Weather content at home and share that with you.”

Her partner, who runs the Instagram account @dadunderconstruction, has also been documenting their pregnancy journey. Fun fact: he was there supporting and caring for Somara’s sister Simone during her hospital stay.

Meanwhile, Somara herself shares updates with her 40k followers on Instagram under the handle @somaratheodore.

Career Timeline

Somara’s professional journey began in May 2013 when she joined WJCL ABC as a Weekend Meteorologist, where she worked until May 2015. From there, she steadily built her career in broadcast meteorology, taking on roles in different stations and making a name for herself in the industry.

By 2023, she joined ABC News as a meteorologist for Good Morning America Weekend, where she continues to work today.

But even before her first job, her résumé was stacked with experience, she had done internships and research with NASA, The Weather Channel, CBS46, and WUSA-TV, plus the CHANCE Program at Penn State.

Right now, she’s considered one of the most relatable and transparent weather voices on TV, often blending her scientific expertise with personal storytelling.
