Fox Weather, Fox News Media’s free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) weather service, has signed meteorologist Bob Van Dillen as on-air host. Most recently, he was the meteorologist for HLN’s Morning Express with Robin Meade. He will begin his new role on July 10 and will be based at Fox Weather headquarters in New York City.

In making the announcement, President Sharri Berg said: “We are thrilled to welcome Bob and his experience in the field, combined with his years as co-host on a national show.  His relatability and conversation-focused style is a perfect fit for Fox Weather and the Fox Weather team.”

For more than 20 years, Van Dillen was the meteorologist on HLN’s Morning Express with Robin Meade. In this capacity, he covered major weather events live including Hurricanes Matthew, Michael and Harvey, as well as Superstorm Sandy, among many others. He has also traveled the country reporting from communities ravaged by tornados. While at HLN he had the opportunity to fly with the Blue Angels, ice climb on a glacier in Alaska, cover numerous Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parades and report live from the annual Steamboat Weather Summit in Colorado.

Prior to HLN, Van Dillen was a meteorologist at WCNC Charlotte, N.C. He also spent more than two years in Syracuse, N.Y., as a meteorologist at WTVH where he delivered forecasts for the morning and evening newscasts and produced a weekly El Nino/La Nina weather series.

Additionally, he was a meteorologist at WXXA Albany, N.Y.; WUTR Utica, N.Y.; and Metro Weather Service on Long Island, N.Y.

A graduate of Millersville University of Pennsylvania, Van Dillen holds a bachelor’s degree in meteorology. He was awarded the American Meteorological Society (AMS) Seal of Approval in 1997 and is a full member of the AMS.
