WCAX.COM Local Vermont News, Weather and Sports-Sharon Meyer

Sharon Meyer

Sharon Meyer leads the team of Meteorologists at WCAX-TV and provides weather forecasts on the Channel 3 News at 6:00PM.

Sharon grew up outside of Boston MA, but when she came to Vermont to attend college, she knew she never wanted to leave. Where else can you find a job you love, and "live in a postcard"?

She began her career at WCAX in the production department, as a producer/director.

In 1987, she combined the weather with her directing duties, working in the control room for the 6pm broadcast, and forecasting the weather for the 11pm.

She became the lead forecaster, and director of the weather department, when Stuart Hall retired in 1990.

She has a BS from the University of Vermont, and has been a member of the American Meteorological Society since 1988.

Sharon is best known for her versatility. She frequently includes garden tips, foliage tours, nature notes, and finds time for her "pet" project... finding homes for animals from the local Humane Societies.

She is busy away from the station as well. She enjoys family time, travel, baseball, boating, scuba diving and skiing.

She is married, and is the glowing owner of two dogs.

Today's Forecast

Today's Forecast Image
  • 81°
  • 61°

A very nice, summer-like day is on tap as a bubble of high pressure slowly slides by today.  A few clouds will mix in during the afternoon, and there is a slight chance for just an isolated shower or t-storm.

The same goes for Friday, although it will be a bit breezy out of the south.  A weak cold front may bring some showers & t-storms late in the day and evening hours. 

But once that cold front sags down to the south, skies will clear and we are looking for a delightful holiday weekend with lots of sunshine and highs in the 70s.

On Monday, Memorial Day, there is a chance for showers & t-storms, but mainly late in the day.
