The Today star reunited with one of her brothers, James – the two also have another brother, Mike – who not only just received the honor of a lifetime, but finally got to meet his youngest nephews, Dylan's son's Oliver, 3, and Russell, 1.
The beloved meteorologist explained that because of the pandemic, they hadn't been able to see each other, because she lives in New York City, while her brother lives in Oregon.
