Stephanie Mead’s Heartfelt Farewell to Indianapolis: A New Chapter Begins in Detroit
In an emotional turn of events, beloved morning meteorologist Stephanie Mead has officially announced her departure from WISH-TV Indianapolis after six impactful years. Known for her warmth, accuracy, and unwavering presence during some of Indiana’s most severe weather events, Stephanie is now setting her sights on a new challenge — joining FOX 2 Detroit.
Reflecting on her journey, Stephanie shared:
> “I have loved every minute being a Hoosier and will miss my WISH-TV family.”
Stephanie’s career began in the mountainous backdrop of Twin Falls, Idaho, before moving on to Green Bay, Wisconsin, where she covered everything from blizzards to PGA Championship delays due to severe storms. Her move to Indianapolis marked the beginning of a deep bond with Hoosiers, covering five Indianapolis 500 races and countless severe weather alerts with professionalism and heart.
Her departure is bittersweet. While viewers across Indiana will miss her familiar face and calm demeanor during stormy forecasts, the city of Detroit eagerly awaits the energy and talent she brings.
> “I’m excited to forecast for the beautiful state of Michigan (especially during the summer and fall!),” she shared about the new role.
Stephanie’s final broadcast on WISH-TV is scheduled for April 7, 2025. As she closes this chapter, her legacy in Indianapolis will live on in the hearts of viewers who tuned in daily not just for the forecast — but for the warmth she brought with it.
Best wishes, Stephanie. Detroit is lucky to have you.
