Summary

  • Friday marked Janice Dean’s final Fox News appearance, where the longtime meteorologist gave an emotional on-air farewell after 22 years with the network.
  • Dean said living with multiple sclerosis made the 2:30 a.m. wake-up routine increasingly hard on her body, and she decided to leave before the strain worsened her health.
  • Two teenage sons and family time also drove the decision, with Dean thanking her husband for handling the “lion’s share” of early mornings during her career.
  • Last month’s retirement announcement had already outlined her exit, but Dean returned for a final sign-off, saying the goodbye would help with the “grieving period” of leaving a job that had become a second family.
