🏍️ From Forecasts to Finish Lines: Jacqui Jeras’s Son Ashton Carves His Path in Motorsports
ATLANTA, GA – June 4, 2025 — While America knows Jacqui Jeras as the trusted face delivering daily forecasts on The Weather Channel, there’s another rising star in her family blazing his own trail — not through storm systems, but across rugged race tracks.
Ashton Jeras, Jacqui’s teenage son, is capturing attention in the world of amateur motocross with his fearless spirit and sharp instincts. Competing in local and regional dirt bike events throughout Georgia and the Southeast, Ashton has steadily become a name to watch in youth motorsports circles.
“He’s always been adventurous,” Jacqui shared with a proud smile. “Even as a little boy, he’d hop on anything with wheels and race it across the yard. We just never knew that curiosity would grow into a real passion.”
Now sporting the #27 on his custom bike — a nod to his birthday and favorite rider — Ashton has begun turning heads with consistent top-five finishes and a reputation for precision and grace under pressure, much like his mother in front of a green screen during severe weather.
What sets Ashton apart isn’t just his competitive edge but his humility. He often spends time after races helping younger kids in the paddock, sharing tips and even helping with bike tune-ups. “I just want everyone to have fun and feel confident,” he said. “That’s what my mom always taught me — to bring positive energy, no matter what.”
Whether it’s tracking cold fronts or chasing podium finishes, one thing’s clear: the Jeras family is all about momentum. And if Ashton continues his upward trajectory, this might just be the beginning of a racing legacy — with a very proud meteorologist cheering from the sideline
