Shiri Spear Biography, Age

Spear is a native of New England, raised in Hollis, NH. The Boston meteorologist is very secretive about her personal life; thus, asides her place of birth and probably a bit about her educational background there is so little information about her parents, siblings (if she has any) date of birth and early life out for public consumption.

After her M.S program, she kicked off her career as a meteorologist at WWLP-TV22 Springfield, MA. After over three years at WWLP-TV22, Shiri decided to further her knowledge in tropical forecasting by working at WTVJ Miami from 2010 – 2012.
