Fox News senior meteorologist Janice Dean has announced she is temporarily stepping away from the network to focus on her health.
Dean, who is seen regularly on FOX & Friends in addition to contributing to FOX Weather, has worked at the company since 2004. In 2005, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
In a post on social media, Dean shared that she is stepping away from the network to focus on recent challenges.
“I wanted to let you all know that I’m taking a break from work (and social media) for a bit. I’m ok, but I’ve had some health issues that require rest and time to heal,” Dean shared. “My bosses at Fox have been kind and understanding.”
Janice Dean added that she was able to begin her rest and recovery with a recent trip with her husband, calling it “a good place to start healing spiritually.”
“Now I have to get back to feeling healthy and strong,” Dean continued. “I’ve always been up front and honest about my life, and I felt I owed you an explanation of my absence. But, I will be back. Grateful to you all for the kind words.”

Janice, noticed that you weren’t on Fox & Friends Weekend, and became concerned. I’ve been a fan since your first day on Fox, and wish you a speedy recovery and return to Fox. You are the station’s Sunshine.Pat🥰
