New York Metro Weather LLC is a weather forecasting service. It is based in Fanwood, New Jersey and provides weather forecasts for the New York City Metropolitan Area.

Company Overview
After several years of blogging and online weather forecasting, New York Metro Weather LLC was founded in 2013 by John Homenuk. The company initially provided free weather content and commentary, mostly on a blog. Over time, the company grew into a community-based weather forecasting service with short-form updates on Twitter and Instagram. The company is community-based, with donations accepted via Patreon.
History
New York Metro Weather, LLC was founded in December 2013. In prior years, the website was hosted on Blogspot. For the next several years, the company saw steady growth on social media and began providing weather forecasts and consulting services to local businesses. A series of impactful weather events in New York City, including Hurricane Sandy, resulted in an influx of traffic and exposure.
In the years that followed, New York Metro Weather would pivot away from corporate consulting services and towards a community-based forecasting and social media model. In September 2021, the company began accepting donations on Patreon. Since 2021, New York Metro Weather LLC has been featured on several prominent news and media outlets including Gothamist[1], The New York Times[2], CNBC[3], Vox[4], CNN[5] and more.
