- Storm Field
Elliott David “Storm” Field was born on November 25, 1948, and followed the footsteps of his father into the meteorology business.
Storm is retired though and is most noted for his time in the New York media market.
Why is he called Storm?
He was nicknamed “Storm” by his parents as a baby, as a result of being very active while still in his mother’s womb (which led a doctor to refer to him as a “stormy child”), as well as being born on a stormy night on Thanksgiving Day.
When did Storm Field begin weather forecasting?
Storm Field’s first foray into weather-casting came as part of WABC’s Eyewitness News program after being hired by the station in March 1976.
He first appeared on television when covering Hurricane Belle, followed by working when Tex Antoine was ill. Storm did the weekend weather broadcasts as well as the 11:00 PM weather broadcast on weekdays.
Storm became the permanent forecaster on November 29, 1976, as a replacement for the suspended Antoine, who had been dismissed after an inappropriate comment concerning a rape story five days earlier.

Storm Field worked with his father
On August 24, 1992, Storm joined his father at WCBS, marking the first time the two had worked together.
In anticipation of his debut, WCBS shot a series of commercials with Storm and Frank Field using puns on both meteorologists’ names.
He remained with WCBS until 1997, succeeding Irv “Mr. G” Gikofsky as the station’s chief meteorologist and then moving to WCBS’ morning newscast toward the end of his time there.
Storm worked with his father for the second time at WWOR
Storm’s third and last weather position brought him to WWOR in 1997, where he reported on the station’s 10 PM newscast and served as WWOR’s chief meteorologist.
His time at WWOR also gave him a second chance to work with his father, who was hired by WWOR as a weekend weathercaster in the early-2000s before retiring.
Storm was let go by WWOR in 2007 after ten years due to cutbacks at both WWOR and sister station WNYW and was replaced by former WCBS weather personality Audrey Puente. He retired shortly thereafter.
Storm is a proud father of two daughters and he resides in Westchester County, New York.
