Biography

Inspiration and mission
Andrew Humphrey loved snow days, math and science as a child, which led him to meteorology -- what he considers his calling.
The TV meteorologist cares deeply about the communities he has served for more than a decade. His goal every time he delivers a weather forecast is to help viewers prepare for their day and remain safe. In fact, local boating organizations check in with him before planning events.
Considered a role model for metro Detroit children, nonprofits frequently invite Andrew to serve as an emcee or speaker at community events. He also regularly visits schools, in person and virtually, to share the joys of science and math with young students.
