She volunteers to coach and mentor young girls and remains active with several organizations in Orange County.  A graduate of UCLA, Magee holds a B.A. in English and has a certificate in Broadcast Meteorology from Mississippi State University.

      Melissa, I love the way you dress. Do you use the same pattern for all of your dresses since they all seem to fit you the same. Same pattern with various adjustments? Do you sew?

      • Pat Bitter on July 29, 2022 at 1:04 am

        Please show the weather for 29 palms. Channel 4 does not cover our weather. The marine corps base is here and alot of tourists visit the Joshua tree national park. Thank you very much

    Melissa Magee was for 11 years the most engaging personality on any station in the Philadelphia market. She deserves an anchor position wherever she goes. Melissa, we want you back in Philly, but I guess we will be watching you in LA for now. All the best.

I am thrilled that I will be able to see your upbeat, informative broadcasts again. Wishing you all the best, young lady. NBC 4 is fortunate to have you.

  13. David from Hammonton, NJ and a former US Army Veteran on November 12, 2020 at 9:40 pm

    Dear Melissa,

    I know this may sound selfish, but I wish you were still here because you had always made my day when you were on air. I know however family is very important and although I do understand your departure I just wanted to say you will always have a family here in the tri-State area. I really do wish you well and may God watch over you, and thank you for many years of hard work. I know we will miss you on the Boardwalk getting on those crazy rides! I actually feel I lost a friend I never met. With much love.

    Dave

  14. William on November 15, 2020 at 6:43 pm

    We miss you BIG TIME here in Philly!! It’s gonna be so very hard to replace you…your personality and “style sense” were second to none…you brought so much to not only your weather forcasts, but also to FYI and your truly wonderful “down the shore” reports and adventures. So happy that you’re back home with your family and a job you truly deserve, but you will always hold a special place in our hearts here…you were certainly one of the BEST news personalities to ever grace 6ABC!!

  18. Madeline Farren on November 27, 2020 at 1:40 pm

    I was watching the news on NBC today and who do I see—Melissa Magee—yeah!! Moved to SoCal a few years ago and saw you recently left Philadelphia and Action News to be with your family here. Loved you there and am sure you’ll do a terrific job here. Best wishes!

    • Patricia deBraganza on February 18, 2021 at 5:00 pm

      Dear Melissa, it seems as though we’re missing our friend here in Philly and the Tri-State area! You are truly an asset to Black people and Women in particular! Your infectious personality and delivery cannot be duplicated! May God continually bless you and yours! Peace dear Sister Queen!🙏💜🤗

  22. Eric Lowe on December 22, 2020 at 10:28 pm

  24. lynn on December 28, 2020 at 8:13 pm

    You seem like a really nice lady but just a tip…please remember this is not The Price is Right or Wheel of Fortune..you seem to always stand in the middle of the screen and half of the temps and other areas are blocked. Fritz and now Tony the other weather people always stand at the side and allows the weather to be seen as well as heard. Thanks

  25. Jim and Mary on January 1, 2021 at 7:05 pm

    Melissa, welcome to CA. We enjoyed your segments from our first viewing. You have a wonderful flowing and informative style. It appears that NBC LA has made a great hire. We wish you all the best.

  26. Anana on January 7, 2021 at 8:31 pm

    Represent and enjoy. You’re doing great and well positioned for your career. Best wishes .

  27. James on January 8, 2021 at 7:06 pm

    Melissa. I have enjoyed your weather broadcast over the years and your segments on the nj shores. I am saddened by your leaving but happy for you. You are truly missed. May God bless you in your endeavors

  28. Andrea on January 22, 2021 at 6:25 pm

    Just watched you today and I’m was so impressed by what a true professional you are that I had to compose this comment. You look great and your arms are incredible. Keep up the good work. Thank you!!!

  29. MITZI on January 23, 2021 at 1:40 am

    WOW, MELISSA I WONDERED WHERE YOU WERE. WISH YOU THE BEST AND GOOD HEALTH,
    WE WILL MISS YOU.

  30. Chris Swift on January 24, 2021 at 10:13 pm

    We love your professional weather reporting as well as your professional appearance each and every day.
    That being said, I want to ask a question directly to you Melissa in hopes of getting an answer I have never gotten from your station.
    We live here in Needles CA where we experience very little rain and extreme temperatures during the summer but some Great weather in the winter months. Why do we never see any of your reporting for our California
    Desert cities and towns? The reporting never seems to go past Victorville. If we could get AZ channels through Direct TV we know the NBC affiliate in Phoenix reports all the way to Yuma, Parker, Lake Havasu but Direct TV says know to us because we are CA and they deliver their service based on ZIP codes.
    Thank you in advance for a possible answer or maybe even a little weather coverage for us desert rats.🥵

  31. Jerry Newton on January 26, 2021 at 6:25 pm

    Melissa you are doing a great job and I am sure you will be receiving awards for your fantastic job as weather expert on KNBC4!

    Thank you for showing Hesperia on the weather report. Some other weather people ignore us in the high desert. I really like your weather reports at night.

  35. Graciela Schreiber on February 15, 2021 at 7:05 pm

  36. P. Dixon on March 26, 2021 at 10:20 am

    As of late the news is fraught with disappointment and negativity so I rarely watch. I have to say as of late I tune in for the weather report on NBC-4. At 4 and 6 pm. Melissa your delivery is IMPECCABLE and your appearance is FLAWLESS. You EXUDE and RADIATE warmth. I had no idea the weather could be so engaging! Thank you Melissa, you’re BLESSED.

  37. P.Dixon on March 30, 2021 at 10:19 am

    I rarely watch the news because these days it’s just filled with negativity. I recently turned on NBC news and at the time the weather report was on. I NOW tune in regularly between 4 and 6 pm to watch. Melissa your delivery is IMPECCABLE and your appearance and sense of style is FLAWLESS. Who knew the weather report could be so ENGAGING. You are talented and BLESSED, Thank you.

  38. B. Dyck on April 7, 2021 at 7:30 pm

    Thank you Melissa! I enjoy your accurate delivery of the weather and your appearance is very professional. You are a very positive role model.

    Melissa we miss you so much in Philadelphia. All the best

  42. Viola Pope on August 13, 2021 at 4:09 pm

    My husband and I miss seeing you on Philly weather,FYI also you and Adam reporting weather from down the shore. Good luck to you😊💖 Ps you was one of the fashionable dresser😊

  43. garry forrest on November 27, 2022 at 5:28 pm

    Ms Magee draws rave reviews – for her wardrobe, not for, well, weather.

    While SoCal’s weather is predictable – that’s why many of us live here – perhaps a touch of the bigger picture might dissuade the kids from calling Ms Magee “Temperature Girl.”

    Perhaps take a page from David Biggar’s excellent reporting. He manages to provide a context, not merely area temperatures.

  44. Love Williams on November 29, 2022 at 8:02 pm

    Hi Melissa, it was Very Nice to meet You and Robin also your Mother’s at ‘ A Taste of Soul ‘.. I hope You and Robin decide to visit Antioch, Church of Long Beach one Sunday. I still enjoy the Professionalism you display during the weather..

    Bro Love

  45. Janita Henry on November 30, 2022 at 7:35 pm

    Dear Melissa,
    So happy we have you on channel 4 news. I think you are very elegant and classy looking. I love watching you. Best of luck forever.

  46. Tracey butler on February 14, 2024 at 8:33 pm

    Please dress down. I use to watch the weather on 4 but go elsewhere. I am interested in the weather, not what you wear. The perfectionism is off putting to me.
