Dani Beckstrom is a meteorologist on ABC7 New York’s Eyewitness News team. She grew up in Boise, Idaho, worked her way through stations in Idaho, Florida and Las Vegas, and joined ABC7NY in August 2022. Below is what’s actually documented about her, what isn’t, and why the money figures you’ll find online don’t agree.
Heads-up on numbers: Her salary and net worth have never been publicly confirmed. Every dollar figure in this article is an estimate, and anything marked (unverified) comes from secondary sources I couldn’t match to an official record.

Age, birthday and height
Most bio pages give her birthday as June 4, 1991. None of them point to a birth record or interview, so I’d call it likely, not proven. On that date she’s 35 today. A few pages say 34, which matches 2025, so they’re probably stale. Her height, listed everywhere as 5 ft 7 in, is just as unsourced.
As for a “real name,” nothing credible suggests Dani is anything other than the name she uses on air.
Early life and education
Her ABC7NY bio says she grew up in Boise and graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in Broadcast Journalism. At BYU she was on the cheer squad, which sent her around the country, and she interned at NY1 in New York. Secondary sites put her graduation year at 2013 (unverified).
She wasn’t trained as a meteorologist first. She came to weather through journalism, and she filled the science gap later: while working in Florida she earned a Certificate of Broadcast and Operational Meteorology from Mississippi State University, finishing in August 2018.
That distinction matters, and a lot of bio pages blur it. A certificate isn’t a four-year atmospheric science degree. It’s a focused program that many on-air forecasters from journalism backgrounds take to build up the weather coursework. If you’ve read that she “has a meteorology degree,” that’s a stretch.
Career history
| Stage | Station | What she did |
|---|---|---|
| After graduation | KPVI, Eastern Idaho | Anchor and reporter, about a year |
| Next | KIVI, Boise (ABC) | Morning weather forecaster |
| Then | WFTX Fox 4, Fort Myers, FL | Morning meteorologist |
| About 2019–2022 | KTNV, Las Vegas (ABC) | Chief Meteorologist |
| August 2022 – now | ABC7 New York (WABC-TV) | Meteorologist, Eyewitness News |
The order and job titles come from her ABC7NY bio. The Las Vegas dates (June 2019 to July 2022) come from secondary sites (unverified); Adweek’s report of her move quotes her as saying she’d spent three years in Las Vegas.
The Florida years were tropical-weather heavy. Her bio describes tracking hurricanes, heat and humidity in southwest Florida, and one bio site credits her with coverage of Hurricane Irma in September 2017 (unverified). When she moved north she said she was looking forward to forecasting four seasons again.
The move to ABC7 New York
When the move was announced, Adweek’s TVSpy ran her own words: she’d interned at NY1 a decade earlier, used to take a longer walk home just to pass ABC7’s building, and called it hard to believe the number-one station in the number-one market wanted her. It’s the best-documented moment of her career, and it ties her first New York internship to her current job.
One bio site says she took the 10 a.m. hour alongside Sam Champion (unverified). Several others say she also appears on Good Morning America Weekend and World News Tonight with David Muir, but I found that only on secondary pages, not on her station bio (unverified). Whether she’s still at ABC7NY in 2026 also rests on those secondary pages (unverified), so check the station’s staff page before quoting it.
Salary, income and net worth
No source has a verified number. Here’s what circulates:
| Figure | Where it appears |
|---|---|
| Salary $67,000–$118,000 | Aggregator bio site (estimate) |
| Salary about $86,000–$90,000 | Aggregator bio sites (estimate) |
| Salary $150,000–$400,000+ | Aggregator “typical range” claim (estimate) |
| Net worth $1M–$3M, $1M–$2M, $1M–$5M | Various bio sites (estimates) |
They disagree because none explains its method. Most seem to take a generic “TV meteorologist pay” average, and some blend Las Vegas and New York. A $67K salary and a $400K salary can’t both describe her.
Here’s my own reasoning, and it’s inference, not data. A working local-TV meteorologist is salaried, and salary alone rarely builds a large fortune within a decade. I also found no confirmed endorsements, books or businesses. So the low-seven-figures ceiling that most sites land on is plausible, but “plausible” is the most anyone can say.
Husband and relationship status
No husband has been publicly confirmed. Several pages flatly say she’s single, but they’re reading silence as a fact. She keeps her public profile on weather, and I found nothing reliable about her relationship life either way.
Family
Her bio confirms she grew up in Boise. A few low-quality pages name her parents and siblings, but none gives a source, so I’m leaving those names out. Private family members shouldn’t be published on the strength of a copied bio page.
Off the air
Her station bio calls her a major foodie and a sports fan who loves living in a city with endless restaurants and teams to cheer on. She posts as @danibeckstromWX on Facebook and other platforms, mixing forecasts with storm updates. One site quotes her Instagram bio as “Emmy-Losing Meteorologist,” a joke at her own expense (unverified).

The short version
The verified part of Dani Beckstrom’s story is a clean one: a Boise native with a journalism degree who worked through Idaho, Florida and Las Vegas, picked up formal weather training along the way, and landed at the New York station she once walked past on her internship commute. Everything else, from her exact birthday to her pay, is estimate or silence, so treat the money figures here as informed guesses, not facts.
