Laurann Robinson
Laurann Robinson is a meteorologist with the FOX 5 Storm Team.
Prior to her move to Atlanta, Laurann worked in Denver, Colorado and Omaha, Nebraska. She spent nearly a decade forecasting, storm chasing and reporting on everything from blizzards to tornadoes, and even historic wildfires and floods. Laurann's work forecasting some of Colorado's biggest weather events earned her the Colorado Broadcasters Association's 2023 Certificate of Merit Award for Best Weathercaster.
A native of Los Angeles, Laurann is a self-proclaimed beach bum. She prefers sunny, hot weather, which was a big factor in her deciding to attend the University of Arizona (Bear Down!), where she earned a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism.
Coincidentally, Laurann's first reporting job took her to the plains of Nebraska, landing her at the top of "Tornado Alley." This is when her interest in weather sparked, prompting her to pivot from the newsroom to the weather center. Laurann returned to school to earn her Broadcast Meteorology Certification from Mississippi State University.
When she's not working or hanging with her fur baby, Lola, Laurann prioritizes giving back to her community. She's currently a Sergeant with the United States Army Reserve and a member of the National Association of Black Journalists.
