Ginger Zee thinks her Good Morning America colleague, Michael Strahan, would make a good tornado-chasing partner.
Ginger is heading to Minnesota today as ABC News’ chief meteorologist.
Due to the potential for strong tornadoes in the area, Ginger is leaving New York City and setting out west.
The ABC News chief climate correspondent took to Instagram early Monday morning to announce her departure from The Big Apple.
Ginger filmed herself as she stood inside Times Square Studios in NYC and shared some graphics depicting the stormy weather headed towards the Midwest.

Ginger explained to her GMA viewers that the rain this morning could stabilize the air for a time in the Minnesota area.
Still, as Ginger warned, it could destabilize just enough to cause damaging winds and possibly even tornadoes in Iowa, Wisconsin, and southeastern Minnesota.
As Ginger stated, “The threat is out there,” along the Iowa state line.”
Ginger takes to social media about new endeavors
As Ginger Zee recorded her informational Instagram Reel, a co-worker inserted themselves into the video for an unexpected cameo.
GMA host Michael Strahan popped up in the background and surprised Ginger.
“Oh, hi, Michael,” Ginger said to him.
“Hey!” Michael said to Ginger and her followers mid-recording.
Ginger explained to Michael what was going on weather-wise.
Although Ginger wasn’t fazed by traveling into harm’s way to chase tornadoes, Michael made it clear that he wasn’t interested in doing the same.
“Okay, you’re going right into the middle of it, as you always do,” he remarked. “And that’s why I stay here, cuz I’m not tough like Ginger.”
Ginger laughed and told her Instagram followers, “We’ll see you then.”
