Drew Anderson

Meteorologist

Drew Anderson joined the FOX 29 News team in September 2021 as a meteorologist and weather anchor.

Before joining FOX 29, Drew was a science news anchor, reporter and meteorologist at WFMZ in Allentown, PA. Prior to that, he did the weather at WGAL and FOX43 in Harrisburg, PA, and WBRE in Wilkes-Barre, PA.

Drew teaches at Penn State. Students take his classes about weather, natural disasters, different countries, the environment, and risk management. He also taught for Drexel University and West Chester University.

A multi-Emmy award-winning meteorologist, Drew has a Certified Broadcast Meteorologist seal from the American Meteorological Society and federal court expert accreditation. He has received teaching excellence awards from Penn State and West Chester University, research grants, an award from AccuWeather, and recognition by NASA for social media excellence.

Drew’s passion for meteorology grew from his weather appearance on FOX 29 at the age of nine! Drew was pulled from the crowd to help give the weather report when Good Day Philadelphia took the show on the road. Years later, Good Day Philadelphia's Sue Serio visited Drew’s middle school.

Fueled by those Good Day Philadelphia appearances, Drew majored in meteorology at Penn State and graduated with laureate honors.

Drew has visited every state and every continent. In Antarctica, he led tourists on science expeditions and studied how penguins react to changes in climate.

If you pause some films with Tom Hanks, Leonardo DiCaprio/Martin Scorsese, and Adam Sandler at the right spots, you just might see Drew! Drew spent a few days acting in the background of movies.
