Brian Van De Graaff

Meteorologist Brian van de Graaff, a member of the 7News Team for over 2 decades, carries the American Meteorological Society’s prestigious Seal of Approval. You can catch his First Alert Weather forecast weekend nights on 7News ON YOUR SIDE!

Prior to his current role, he forecasted the weekday morning and midday weather, with his first assignment ABC7’s Good Morning Washington. Brian’s on-air career path took him from Salisbury, Maryland to Richmond, Virginia to New York City and back home to Washington, D.C.

Brian was born in Arlington, but grew up in the rural Virginia communities of Culpeper and Madison. His love for the weather was apparent from an early age, so it was no surprise after graduating George Mason University he jumped right into the business shadowing his mentor, Doug Hill.
