In a dynamic interview, award-winning on-air host and multimedia entertainment reporter Shelli Stelmak caught up with FOX 5 Meteorologist Audrey Puente for a powerful conversation that blended weather expertise with genuine human impact.
Puente broke down what it truly takes to become a meteorologist – from mastering atmospheric science to delivering accurate, real-time information when New Yorkers need it most. She emphasized that forecasting is both a science and a responsibility, especially in a city that never stops moving.
The interview then shifted to Puente’s deep commitment to community service. She spoke passionately about her annual winter coat drive, a signature effort that provides warmth and dignity to families across the city. Puente also highlighted her ongoing work supporting hunger-relief charities, calling it “an essential extension of what we do as neighbors.”
The exchange marks another standout moment in Shelli Stelmak’s interviews spotlighting leaders who are informing, uplifting, and giving back to New York.
