Eric Fisher is Chief Meteorologist for WBZ-TV News and anchors weather segments weeknights at 5, 6 and 11 p.m.
He is also a frequent contributor to CBS News at the national level, reporting on breaking severe weather across the country for the "CBS Evening News" and "CBS Mornings."
Since starting at WBZ in 2013, Eric has won multiple New England Emmy awards for his work as a meteorologist and been named Boston's "Best TV Weatherman" by Boston Magazine.
Born and raised in New England, Eric says there are few places on earth that produce weather like this little corner of the U.S. It offers the challenges of blockbuster snowstorms, hurricanes, tornadoes, heat waves, frigid cold snaps and dramatic seasonal shifts. Eric vividly remembers Memorial Day of 1995 as a day that helped solidify his path as a meteorologist, when an infamous tornado ripped through Great Barrington in the Berkshires. Glued to the red warnings crawling across the screen and watching the radar, his career in weather was born.
Fisher joined WBZ from The Weather Channel in Atlanta where he spent three years as a Meteorologist. He produced and delivered national forecasts and contributed to numerous live reports on extreme weather for The Weather Channel, NBC Nightly News, TODAY and MSNBC. Previously Fisher worked as the morning meteorologist at WGGB-TV in Springfield, Massachusetts.
A supporter of science and learning, Eric is a member of both the Mount Washington Observatory and the Blue Hill Observatory here in New England. He also serves on the Ambassador Board of the New England Aquarium.
Eric is a graduate of the State University of New York at Albany (SUNY) with a B.S. degree in Atmospheric Science and a minor in Mathematics. He lives in the city with his wife Elizabeth and two sons.
