Cindy Fitzgibbon was born in Virginia, United States, and later moved with her family to Windham, Maine, where she was raised. From as early as the sixth grade, Fitzgibbon developed a strong interest in meteorology and was captivated by changing weather patterns. This early passion led her to pursue a degree in the field. She attended Lyndon State College (now part of Northern Vermont University) in Vermont and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Meteorology. Upon completing her studies, Fitzgibbon promptly began her broadcasting career.
Fitzgibbon started her professional journey in broadcast meteorology in the late 1990s at KXMB-TV, a CBS-affiliated station in Bismarck, North Dakota. She then gained experience at WPTZ, an NBC affiliate in Burlington, Vermont, serving as the morning meteorologist. Continuing her career progression, she worked at NBC2 in Fort Myers, Florida, before relocating to Boston in 2002. There, she joined FOX 25 News as a weather reporter.
While at FOX 25, Fitzgibbon became known for her comprehensive storm coverage, reporting on over 300 weather events. Notably, she covered the devastating Ice Storm of December 2008, Tropical Storm Irene in 2011, and the tornado outbreak that same year. Her reporting stood out for both accuracy and reliability, reinforcing her role as a trusted meteorologist.
In April 2013, Fitzgibbon joined WCVB’s StormTeam 5. Her career has been characterized by steady growth, professional integrity, and a deep commitment to her field.
