Adam Joseph said he will make a big announcement at 6 PM on Action News. He also told viewers he has been in his profession for more than 27 years.
Joseph posted on X that he hopes viewers tune in for the announcement and a look down memory lane. In his message, he wrote that he has been “blessed for more than 27 years to work in a profession I believe I was born to do.”
Action News and PHL 17
The post matters because Joseph is a longtime meteorologist with a large weekday presence on Action News. The article describing the post says he appears on the station every weekday at 4 PM and 5:30 PM, and also covers Action News at 10 PM on PHL 17.
That same article says Joseph joined the Action News AccuWeather Team in 2005. It also notes that Cecily Tynan retired in September, which has fueled attention around Joseph’s next step.
Matt Schultz, who wrote the Crossing Broad piece, said Joseph seemed poised to become the main weather person at the station after Tynan’s retirement. The piece also raises the possibility that the announcement could be a promotion, with Joseph taking over as Chief Meteorologist rather than leaving.
Here is the part viewers were left with: Joseph framed the 6 PM appearance as both a career look back and a look ahead. Whether the announcement was a retirement note or a promotion, the station’s weather lineup was set to change in public view the moment he went on air.
