NEW JERSEY—As the legacy newspaper industry continues to struggle, meteorologist Joe Martucci says another round of layoffs in New Jersey has signaled the end of the Press of Atlantic City’s weather team.

After over six years of delivering weather updates and engaging with the community, meteorologist Joe Martucci and his team at The Press of Atlantic City have been let go, following a team restructuring.

Despite the changes, Martucci is not ready to leave meteorology or his connections with the New Jersey community.

Martucci expressed his gratitude for his support, highlighting the various ways people have engaged with his work—whether through social media, subscribing to The Press of Atlantic City, listening to the “Across the Sky” podcast, or simply saying hello in local places like Shoprite.

While uncertain about the specifics of his next steps, Martucci is optimistic about continuing to provide weather updates and local news. He invites businesses, organizations, friends, and anyone with ideas for collaboration or who wishes to stay informed about local weather to reach out to him.
