When people see Jim Cantore in their town, it usually means one thing—bad weather is on the way. As a meteorologist known for being on the front lines of severe storms, no one wants to spot him nearby, especially during hurricane season. Unfortunately for Louisiana, Tropical Storm Francine is barreling towards the coastline. After a major shift, it appears to be headed straight for Southeast Louisiana.

As residents prepared for the storm, one local business decided to lighten the mood. Sweet & Simple Coffee and Sweets in Morgan City, Louisiana, devised a creative way to handle the storm anxiety. They made cupcakes inspired by none other than Jim Cantore himself!

The shop, which serves delicious treats and coffee, thought it would be fun to honor the famous weatherman. Their Jim Cantore cupcakes featured a clever design with a picture of Cantore on top of their Shrimp Boil & Vanilla Cupcakes. Check them out here...

To everyone’s surprise, Jim Cantore stopped by the establishment to check out the cupcakes! It was an unexpected visit that brought a smile to many faces in the community. Despite the looming threat of Tropical Storm Francine, Cantore’s stop at the shop gave the town a much-needed break from the stress of storm preparations.

Check out the pictures of Jim stopping by the shop! These are awesome!
