Cinthia Pimentel joined NBC Bay Area and Telemundo 48 in September 2022 as a bilingual meteorologist.
Cinthia is from the Bay Area. She grew up in the Canal neighborhood of San Rafael. Her love for local weather developed at a young age while watching the news with her parents and grandparents.
From unbeatable Bay Area weather, to reading about and seeing the devastation from the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, and Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Cinthia knew then she wanted a career in meteorology.
Cinthia’s broadcast career began at KRON4 in San Francisco where she worked in all roles from the assignment desk, news producer, and fill-in weather anchor.
Cinthia is the first in her family to attend and graduate college. She earned a B.S. in Earth Systems Science with a specialization in Atmospheric Science from UC Irvine. In 2025, she earned her Certification in Broadcast and Operational Meteorology from Mississippi State University.
On her free time, Cinthia enjoys being at home, hot power yoga and running. She is married and is a ‘dog mom’ to a Labrador Retriever mix and a Doberman mix, both adopted from a shelter in the East Bay.
