Stacey Duford grew up in Mt. Morris, Michigan, and became fascinated with weather as a child after watching a tornado rip up a tree in her backyard.
She graduated from Albion College, moved to the Detroit area, and then worked as a stand-up comic, which led to a career in radio and TV. She was part of two popular morning shows, "The Breakfast Club" on WNIC and "Bobby & Stacey" on WOMC. She managed to combine her passions, weather and entertaining, as a meteorologist here on CBS News Detroit.
Stacey first joined the team in 2009 and then returned in 2019.
While at WOMC, she won a Gracie Award (Outstanding Performance by a Female in a Leading Role) from Women in Communication and Best Morning Show from the Michigan Association of Broadcasters.
Along the way, she has raised two children (her son is now a stand-up comic!), published a children's book, "The Fairy Painting," and co-hosted an award-winning podcast, "It's Not Just You."
Stacey spends her free time writing, reading and running.
