Anthony Perkins (born August 25, 1959) is an American broadcast journalist, radio personality, and former weathercaster, best known for his work on ABC's Good Morning America as the primary weather anchor from 1999 to 2005.

His parents had met when his father was working at a shoe store in New York.

Together, the family lived in the South Bronx until moving to Washington, D.C., when he was five years old.

His parents divorced when he was 11, and his mother worked as a telephone operator and night clerk to raise the family.

1977

He attended elementary school in Washington, D.C., junior high in Maryland and Virginia, and graduated from Mount Vernon High School in Alexandria, Virginia, in 1977.

In high school, Perkins had a good academic record and was involved in many extracurricular activities, including becoming the first black editor-in-chief of his school's student newspaper.
