Pete Bouchard joined NBC10 Boston and NECN in January 2016. He’s been a familiar face to much of Southern New England, including as the former chief meteorologist at WHDH in Boston. Other stops along the way include WMTW in Portland, Maine and Fox 25 in Boston.
Pete studied meteorology at one of the first colleges in the country to offer a concentration in broadcast meteorology: Lyndon State College in Vermont (now Vermont State University). The highly variable terrain of Vermont's Green Mountains proved a worthy training ground for New England's changeable climate.
Throughout his career, he’s visited countless schools, civic organizations, and donated time to dozens of charities. Pete's 30+ years of experience in New England make him one of the longest tenured meteorologists in the region. Many of Pete's former interns are now on-air meteorologists in New England and in other parts of the country. His passion for the environment and outspoken support of climate change initiatives/mitigation have set him apart in the weather community. He has received countless accolades in his long career, from the Associated Press, Maine Association of Broadcasters, three Emmy nominations and three Best of Boston awards.
In his spare time, he enjoys woodworking, residential construction (he's built two homes), and playing the guitar (not just Wonderwall).
