Tony Perkins was the weather forecaster for ABC's Good Morning America.
Perkins began his career as a desk assistant for the ABC News Washington bureau. From 1985 to 1992, he served as a producer and on-air contributor to "The Donnie Simpson Show" on WKYS-FM in Washington, D.C. From 1986 to 1988, he hosted and produced "DC20 Breakaway" in Washington. From 1993 to 1999, he served as a weather personality at WTTG-TV in Washington, D.C. and also co-anchored "Fox Morning News" from 1998 to 1999. In 1999, Perkins joined ABC's Good Morning America, where his catchphrase to turn it over to the local weather was "the weather in your neighborhood." Perkins left Good Morning America in late 2005 to return to WTTG in Washington. On GMA he was succeeded by Mike Barz. Tony Perkins was a replacement for Spencer Christian when he moved to San Francisco to do the weather for KGO-TV in the late 1990s.
Perkins holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from American University.
