Stephanie Mead [2025 updates] Wiki, Bio, Age, Net Worth, Family.

From blizzards in Wisconsin to storm alerts in Detroit, Stephanie Mead has built a career out of guiding viewers through the nation’s most unpredictable weather. A talented and award‑nominated meteorologist, she joined FOX 2 Detroit in April 2023, bringing her expertise and passion for weather forecasting to audiences in the Motor City and beyond. Mead’s career spans roles at WISH‑TV in Indianapolis and NBC 26 in Green Bay, where she earned a Midwest Regional Emmy Award nomination for her coverage of a severe winter storm. She is also a proud graduate of Northern Illinois University, holding a degree in Geography with a minor in Journalism, and has been recognized with the Certified Broadcast Meteorologist seal from the American Meteorological Society.

Early Life

Stephanie Mead was born on March 28, 1991, in Chicago, Illinois. Growing up in the city with her two sisters, she enjoyed a close-knit family life that shaped much of her early years. She attended Hinsdale South High School, where her curiosity about science and communication began to take root.

After graduating, Stephanie pursued higher education at Northern Illinois University (NIU), choosing to major in Geography with a minor in Journalism—a combination that reflected her passion for both environmental sciences and storytelling. During her time at NIU, she gained hands-on industry experience through an internship with WTVO-TV Channel 17, which became a pivotal step in shaping her career in broadcast meteorology.

Professional Career (Updated through 2025)

During her final years at Northern Illinois University, Stephanie balanced her studies with a role as a weather presenter at Northern Television Center in DeKalb, Illinois.

After graduating in 2013, she joined KMVT-TV in Twin Falls, Idaho, as a weather presenter on Rise and Shine, eventually stepping into the role of Chief Meteorologist under the mentorship of Brian Neudorff.

Following a two-year tenure there, Stephanie moved to NBC 26 (WGBA‑TV) in Green Bay, Wisconsin, presenting weather forecasts and covering extreme weather events. Her work—including coverage of storms that impacted major sporting events—earned her a Chicago/Midwest Regional Emmy Award nomination.

In 2017, she joined WISH‑TV in Indianapolis, anchoring weekday forecasts and traffic from 4–10 a.m., performing field weather reports, hosting a community‑focused podcast, and covering marquee events such as the Indianapolis 500. She remained a prominent part of the station for six years. On April 7, 2023, WISH‑TV dedicated a farewell segment during its Daybreak newscast to mark Mead’s final broadcast after six years at the station. Colleagues thanked her for her early‑morning dedication, her warm presence on air, and her commitment to Indianapolis viewers. The segment included a highlight reel of her weather coverage, behind‑the‑scenes moments, and personal tributes from co‑anchors. Viewers saw Mead herself deliver one last forecast—repeating her signature phrase about “a chilly beginning to Friday” and looking ahead to upper‑50s to low‑60s temperatures—as part of her goodbye. The emotional send‑off underscored her impact at WISH‑TV and provided a natural transition to the next step in her career.

Later that same month, Mead made the move to WJBK‑TV (FOX 2 Detroit), where she currently anchors both morning and evening weather segments. In addition to delivering forecasts, she occasionally fills in on lifestyle programming and actively participates in community outreach events.

Since joining FOX 2 Detroit, Stephanie has consistently provided coverage of Metro Detroit’s weather patterns, ranging from severe storm alerts and humidity surges to winter advisories and seasonal outlooks. She has also appeared in on‑air segments with colleagues such as Deena Centofanti and Maurielle Lue in 2025, further cementing her role as a trusted and engaging broadcast meteorologist.

Personal Life: Husband & Children

Stephanie Mead is known for keeping her personal life private. While secondary sources have speculated about her being married to Todd McMahon, no verified or primary confirmation supports this claim. Her own public posts focus more on her family—such as celebrating her sister Brittany’s engagement in March 2023 and her wedding in September 2023—rather than her own marital status. As of now, there are no confirmed public details about Mead’s marriage, children, or family life. She continues to prioritize her broadcasting career while maintaining a low personal profile.

Net Worth

When it comes to Stephanie Mead’s finances, the question most often asked is: what is her net worth in 2025? While Stephanie keeps her personal financial details private, industry data and career patterns for broadcast meteorologists help provide a clear picture.

With more than a decade of experience on television—from her early days in Twin Falls and Green Bay to high‑profile roles in Indianapolis and now Detroit—Mead has steadily climbed the local TV ladder. In markets like Detroit, seasoned meteorologists with Emmy‑nominated credentials often earn solid six‑figure salaries, supported by benefits and long‑term retirement plans. When combined with steady saving and modest investment growth, these earnings build into meaningful wealth over time.

Taking these factors together, a realistic estimate places Stephanie Mead’s current net worth in the $250,000 to $450,000 range. This aligns with what professionals of similar tenure and market size typically accumulate. Some estimates suggest the figure could be lower—around $130,000—if early career debt or slower savings are factored in. On the high end, stronger savings and investment growth could push her worth closer to $700,000.
