 Joe Furey, is the Director of New England Weather Service and Chief Meteorologist for WTIC News/Talk 1080 and the Fox 61 Morning News.

He joins an all-star team including co-anchors Logan Byrnes and Rebecca Stewart, and traffic expert Rachel Lutzker. This will expand his presence in Connecticut thanks to a broad-ranging agreement between Fox 61 and WTIC News/Talk 1080. The partnership will showcase Furey's 18 years of experience delivering accurate, detailed weather forecasts for Connecticut. Furey will continue to provide weather reports for WTIC News/Talk 1080, 96.5 TIC-FM, Lite 100.5 WRCH and 97.3 WZBG.

Years ago Joe Furry helped establish Fox 61's tradition of clear, concise weather reports. Joe's forecasts have always emphasized the information that people need to plan their activities rather than hype and fear.

Prior to WTIC News/Talk 1080, Furey's twenty-year career in weather included teaching at Western Connecticut State University, University of Hartford, and Talcott Mountain Science Center in Avon, and TV meteorologist for Fox 61 News at Ten, WFSB Channel 3 and News 12 Connecticut.
