Gwen Tolbart is an American meteorologist for FOX 5 and a social worker highlighting stories of positive real-life people doing good in their community and forecasting local weather.
She began her broadcasting career in her home of Montreal, Quebec, Canada as a host and producer of the Black Community Communications Media’s news magazine program called Black Is, and also contributing to their radio broadcast Black Speaks, not knowing at the time that her career path would veer into world of weather forecasting for many years to come.
Her weather forecasting began at Canada’s nationally-aired Weather Network. Gwen worked as a weather and news anchor and then at CTV’s CFCF-12 as a weather anchor, a reporter on the consumer advocacy show Fighting Back, and further as a host on the internationally-syndicated, award-winning travel show, Travel, Travel.
It was five years in the warm climate and hot days of Texas that directed Tolbart against her Canadian winter roots when in 1997 she landed at KTVT CBS-11 in Dallas as a weather anchor, feature reporter and host of the station’s talk show Positively Texas. The Texas sun shone brightly on her while she was there with being a part of a weather team that won an Emmy award and also won five National Association of Black Journalists broadcasting awards.
In 2002, Tolbart left the Lone Star State and headed north to the nation’s capital to FOX 5 DC, where her storm forecasts are always challenged not — by her viewers but by the mountains of West Virginia – that being, “Will the storms survive the mountains to make it to DC?”
Tolbart’s work with that challenge and more with her forecasting at FOX 5 has so far earned Gwen five Emmy nominations and a few Associated Press awards. She once thought about being a social worker, so she has a strong community commitment, interest in youth, women’s causes, and reinforcing positive direction in people and has supported numerous non-profit organizations of all manner in both Canada and the USA as a board member and/or as a volunteer.
Tolbart says she ended up being what she called a “Media Social Worker.” In Montreal, she established “Positive Images,” a mentoring project for teenage girls and arranged for the girls to meet Coretta Scott King.
In Dallas, she helped in setting up mentor programs and workshops for at-risk girls and single teen mothers and additionally tutored elementary school children. In D.C., she served on the Board of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and as of 2019, she was serving on the Board of “Our House,” a residential program for at-risk adolescent males.
The – Empower Program (teen girls) bestowed her their 2004 Voices Against Violence Award for her overall positive participation to the lives of young people, and New Endeavors By Women, a D.C. organization that assists homeless women also honored Gwen for her volunteer work with them.
She is humbled and appreciative of the numerous recognition and awards she has earned for her civic and professional work in both Canada & the USA, including from the governments of both countries.
She was acknowledged with the prestigious National Association of Black Journalists'(NABJ) National Community Service Award. In 2002, she was given the Woman of Distinction Award in Texas, with official commendations from the Governor of Texas, Texas State Representative, and the United States Congress.
Gwen has been officially recognized by the Nova Scotia House of Assembly – Government of Canada. Washington D.C.’s Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. named me 2005 Woman Of The Year, and most recently she was selected as one of the 2014 Top 100 Women In the State of Maryland by the publication The Daily Record, which acknowledges women for their outstanding achievement by women demonstrated through professional accomplishments, community leadership and mentoring.
