About

Janice Dean (born May 9, 1970) is a former Canadian-born American weather presenter, television show host, and author based in New York City. She retired from Fox News on July 12, 2026 due to health reasons. She had served as co-host and weather anchor on Fox & Friends.

Dean was born in Toronto, Ontario, grew up in Ottawa, and graduated from Algonquin College with a degree in radio-television broadcasting. Before starting her career in broadcasting, she worked as a Canadian bylaw enforcement officer. Later Dean worked at several radio and television stations in Canada and the United States, including CHEZ-FM and WCBS-TV, finally landing a post at Fox News.
In 2009, Dean’s application for the American Meteorological Society Seal of Approval was granted. The Seal is not a meteorology diploma, so she is not a meteorologist. Rather, it was launched in 1957 as a way to recognize on-air personalities for their sound delivery of weather information to the general public, and the AMS is no longer accepting applications for the Seal of Approval Program.
Dean wrote a series of Freddy the Frogcaster children’s books.
