Jonathan Stacey joined the FOX 5 Atlanta Storm Team in June 2021 after working in several other television markets across the Southeastern U.S. over the past decade. Prior to relocating to Atlanta, Jonathan worked at WBTV in Charlotte, North Carolina as a lifestyle show host, anchor, and meteorologist.
Jonathan won a Southeast Emmy Award in 2022 for an environmental feature story in which he took viewers underneath the dangerous and deadly waters of Lake Lanier.
In 2023, Jonathan was named Best Meteorologist (Large Market TV) during the Georgia Association of Broadcasters GABBY Awards Ceremony.
As Hurricane Dorian brushed the Carolinas' coast in August 2019, Jonathan guided viewers through the storm's landfall from the studio. Jonathan's contributions to the station's weather coverage that day earned him and his team a Midsouth Emmy Award for Best Morning Newscast in 2021.
In the Carolinas, Jonathan was affectionally known as "J-Stace the Science Ace." He got that moniker after producing and hosting an award-winning science experiment series teaching kids and their parents about the natural world during the pandemic.
Jonathan also sharpened his reporting and forecasting skills at WJXT in Jacksonville, Florida; WAFF in Huntsville, Alabama; WNKY in Bowling Green, Kentucky; WCYB in Bristol, Virginia; and as an NABJ-NBC News Fellow in New York City.
