Stephanie Mead
I’m from Chicago and a graduate of Northern Illinois University.
I began my career in meteorology forecasting in the mountains of Twin Falls, Idaho. I moved back to the Midwest to forecast sub-zero temperatures and lake-effect snow in Green Bay and covered numerous severe weather events in Northeast Wisconsin, including a blizzard as well as a dangerous thunderstorm, that delayed the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits.
I then moved down to Indianapolis! I needed a little more severe weather (and warmth!)
I spent 6 years in the Hoosier state and loved exploring what Indiana has to offer. I’ve covered 5 Indianapolis 500 races and plenty of severe weather in central Indiana.
I’m excited to forecast for the beautiful state of Michigan (especially during the summer and fall!)
