Tom Smallets, Tom The Weather Wizard

Tom Smallets has been the weather guy since second grade, but began broadcasting forecasts in seventh grade, delivering them for his school and keeping at it through graduation.

He attended Penn State, majoring in meteorology, one of two schools in PA that offers it, but a family tragedy cost him the financial aid that sent him there, and he was forced to transfer.

While Tom is well versed in prediction and forecasting, over his time posting on TikTok, he discovered a format that lets him study his passion and provide educational entertainment for a massive audience. The format suits him: more than 50 million organic views so far, with nothing spent on promotion.

Weathermen and women abound, but Tom's taste and wit in making weather events relatable to everyone is what makes him unique. He is the Weather Wizard, after all.

He's based in Philadelphia and posts as @tomtheweatherwizard.
