Storm Center was an American weather news television program on The Weather Channel. It debuted at 4pm EST on November 15, 2021, replacing the time slot previously occupied by Weather Underground, which itself replaced Weather Center Live's 12-4pm time slot.[1]

Hosted by Jacqui Jeras and Chris Warren[2], the program focused on current weather information and discussion of historic weather systems. The program was aired in hour-long blocks. Each block began with a look at currently active National Weather Service watches and warnings for the contiguous united States, and afterwards focused on active and upcoming weather systems. One of the three hosts of the show was positioned at a command center, enabling them to quickly switch to and discuss active weather events at that moment; the hosts refer to this position as being "on the radar". Some historical weather systems were also discussed, which had a relation to the current season or weather situation. For example, the first week of programs featured features on the "Perfect Storm" and fall's severe weather season in the southeastern United States. Other segments often featured a discussion on weather impacts on society. Seasonal features included a live drive-along with a cross-country trucker for the week of Thanksgiving 2021.

On October 28, 2024, the show was canceled and its time slot was replaced by Weather Unfiltered, following a programming schedule change. Its former hosts and production teams were moved to The Weather Channel LIVE, its successor program.
