In 1978, Cascione moved to State College, Pennsylvania, and began work for Accu Weather as a Forecast Meteorologist. In 1980, he moved back to Rhode Island to work for WLNE TV-6. He began a weather consulting business called Ocean State Weather, which he still runs. Steve holds the Broadcast Seal of Approval from the AMS.
