The American Red Cross of Northern New England welcomed veteran meteorologist Dan Dowling to its regional communications team. He will serve as the region’s communications manager, supporting the organization’s storytelling and public-outreach efforts throughout Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
Originally from Rochester, New York, Dowling has lived in Burlington for the past 24 years. He holds bachelor’s degrees in meteorology from Oswego State University and in mass communications from Plattsburgh State University.
Dowling joined WCAX-TV, Vermont’s CBS affiliate, in 1998, as the weekend meteorologist, moving to weeknights a year later. For more than 20 years, Vermonters welcomed Dowling into their living rooms as he delivered daily forecasts viewers trusted. In 2021, he took the helm as the station’s chief meteorologist, leading the WCAX weather team. For the past 15 years, Dowling has also served as an adjunct professor at Northern Vermont University, Lyndon.
“Dan has been a trusted voice in local news for more than two decades. We are thrilled that he will bring that legacy and expertise to the American Red Cross as we confront more extreme disasters,” said Stephanie Couturier, CEO of Red Cross Northern New England Region.
