Meteorologist Wren Clair has departed KSTP-TV. Her final day on the job was Wednesday.

News director Kirk Varner confirmed the news: “Wren Clair is no longer employed by KSTP-TV. We wish her the best with her next opportunity.” He declined to answer any questions and said the station typically doesn’t comment on personnel matters.

Attempts to reach Clair for comment Thursday were unsuccessful.

The Hopkins native joined KSTP’s weather team in June 2018. After chief meteorologist Dave Dahl retired in 2020, she took over as the primary evening meteorologist for “5 Eyewitness News.”

Clair holds a Master of Science degree in Environmental Science and Policy from Johns Hopkins University, a Bachelor of Science in Meteorology degree from Mississippi State University and degrees in Chemistry and Anthropology from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, according to a now-deleted biography on KSTP’s website.

A member of the American Meteorological Society, Clair worked at stations in Rhinelander, Wis., and Boston, where she covered historic flooding in January 2018, before moving to KSTP. She also worked as a chemist for five years and was part of multiple publications, primarily related to organic synthesis.

Clair has tutored math and science off and on since high school and has taught GED seeking students through Neighborhood House in the Wellstone Center. Wren has also spent time volunteering at Union Gospel Mission’s dental clinic, as well as previously running the children’s dental outreach program.
