Scott Withers joined the NEXT Weather team as the weekend morning meteorologist for CBS News Miami.

A four-time national Emmy Award-winning journalist, Withers is known for his coverage of both natural and man-made disasters. 

Over the past decade, he has reported from across the country, covering every major landfalling hurricane in Florida and along the Gulf Coast, tornado outbreaks in the Midwest, flash flooding in Kentucky and Vermont, the Maui wildfires, the Great American Drought in the Western U.S., blizzards, and earthquake clusters.

A Michigan native, Withers is thrilled to return to Miami. He previously lived in Coconut Grove while working for ABC News' Good Morning America and World News Tonight. Most recently, he served as Senior Meteorologist and National Climate Correspondent for Scripps News, based in Atlanta.

Withers' lifelong fascination with severe weather inspired a mid-career shift. After two decades as a television journalist and producer, he returned to school and earned a Bachelor's degree in Meteorology and a Master's in Environmental Geosciences from Mississippi State University.

When he's not chasing storms across the country, Withers enjoys traveling with his husband, Alejandro. The couple also enjoys exploring estate sales in search of unique artwork and antiques. The true star of their family, however, is their dog, Cane. Withers rescued him from a Miami street after he was hit by a car. They adopted and nursed him back to health, and today, Cane joins Scott on storm-chasing trips across the country. Their adventures have even inspired a series of weather-based educational books for children.
