Meteorologist Keith Carson leaving WCSH to focus on climate change in Maine

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • November 3, 2025

After nearly two decades reporting the weather on television, News Center Maine meteorologist Keith Carson announced he’s leaving the station to work with the Maine Conservation Voters on science and climate communications. Carson announced on Monday that his last newscast for WCSH will be on Friday. Carson expressed excitement for his new role at Maine Conservation Voters, where he will be aiding in science and climate communications. His passion for weather is only rivaled by that of climate, and he said he has at times taken issue with climate advocates and conservationists’ messaging on the issue of climate change. Carson said, “It’s not the same answer for everyone as to what makes them care about conservation.”
