Insider, let us share more with you about News 6 meteorologist Candace Campos.
Candace, who has been with News 6 since 2015, is a Florida native, growing up in Miami. Candace can vividly recount how she was affected by Hurricane Andrew when it tore apart her home when she was a young child. Now, she’s helping Central Floridians through hurricanes and severe weather.

If she wasn’t doing meteorology, Candace said she’d probably be a science teacher. But her first job was as a secretary at a newborn photography studio. Maybe that’s why she’s so good at taking pictures of her daughters.
One thing you might not know about Candace is that she loves to decorate for the holidays, including using themed dish towels and decorative pillows. She loves to spend time at the beach with her family and scrapbooking, hence all the photo-taking. And if she could learn a new skill, she’d like to learn to sew so she can make Halloween costumes for her daughters.
And if Candace could choose three people at News 6 to be on her zombie apocalypse team, she’d picked Trooper Steve for protection and survival, Mike Holfeld for zombie intel and Matt Austin for resourcefulness.
And if you haven’t followed News 6 on Instagram you should because Candace can create some hilarious video reels.
