Raegan Medgie
Raegan Medgie is an Emmy-winning reporter and meteorologist who joined the FOX 5 News team in June 2017. She’s up before the birds start chirping, covering news and weather for Good Day New York and The Noon.
Medgie has been reporting for more than 20 years, and recently earned her meteorologist title in December 2021 during an intensive one-year online weather forecasting program at Penn State University's Department of Meteorology and Atmospheric Science.
Prior to FOX 5, Medgie worked at The Weather Channel, where she helped launch AMHQ with Sam Champion. As the Northeast Correspondent based in New York, she became part of "Wake Up With Al" and MSNBC as she crisscrossed the country, chasing storms and humanizing the aftermath.
She also worked as a general assignment reporter covering breaking news for WCBS/CBS2 New York and filled-in as the entertainment reporter for CBS-FM.
Before making New York her home, she was a reporter and anchor for WNEP (ABC) Newswatch 16 in Scranton, Pennsylvania; WETM (NBC) in Elmira, New York where she earned an Associated Press Award for Best Enterprise Reporting; and TV2 News in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Her first taste as a reporter began at Temple Update, the student-run TV station at her alma mater Temple University in Philadelphia (Go Owls!).
Medgie is from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, but lives in New York City with her husband. She loves spending time with family and friends, is a life-long supporter of animal rights and welfare, enjoys a great cup of coffee and hopping on her Peloton before 3:30 a.m.
