The Meteorologist Hall of Fame

2009 Inductee, Stephanie Abrams

Stephanie Abrams is co-host of Abrams and Bettes-Beyond the Forecast and Evening Edition on The Weather Channel. Growing up in south Florida she is no stranger to hurricanes. After receiving a B.S. in Meteorology from Florida State University and a B. S. in Geography from the University of Florida she began her career as the morning meteorologist at WTXL in Tallahassee. After joining The Weather Channel, she provided in-the-field reports from wherever the weather was having the biggest impact—flooding in New York, tornadoes in Illinois, snowstorms in the Northeast. Her coverage of Hurricane Katrina was extensive. “When I was in Mississippi right after landfall, I couldn’t believe the destruction I was seeing was actually real.”
