T.J. Springer
T.J. Springer is an Emmy Award-winning meteorologist and brings nearly a decade of experience to the FOX 35 Storm Team. He joined FOX 35 in September 2024.
T.J. has received the American Meteorological Society Certified Broadcast Meteorologist distinction, which is the highest designation from the organization. It requires a rigorous exam and review of his on-air weathercasts. T.J. has also been honored by the Iowa Broadcast News Association for his severe weather coverage. He also has spent time on the AMS Station Scientist Committee and served as the board chair.
He hails from Maryland but has spent time in the Ohio Valley, Upper Midwest, the Central High Plains, the Ozarks, Central PA. He couldn't be more excited to be here in the Sunshine State.
T.J. has forecasted for WOAY TV in Oak Hill, WV, KTIV TV in Sioux City, IA, KSNW-TV in Wichita, KS, KOLR 10/Ozarks FOX in Springfield, MO, and most recently WGAL-TV in Lancaster, PA. Springer was the AM Meteorologist at three of his last five TV stations - so he’ll never stray away from a cup of coffee! Before he got his start in the world of meteorology, he interned in Baltimore, MD at WBFF Fox 45.
T.J. graduated from Millersville University with his Bachelors of Science in Meteorology. He was largely involved in musical theatre and choir during his time at MU which drove him to pursue a minor in music. This is where he started to feel comfortable in front of an audience and eventually in front of a camera.
T.J. loves the beach and is a true Disney Adult! He also loves golf so if you have any recommendations, send them his way. If you don’t find him on the coast or at Disney, you’ll probably see him walking and playing with his adorable Shichon puppy, Gizmo.
