Serio serves as the weather anchor for the "FOX Morning News," which airs weekdays from 6–7 a.m. and for "Good Day Philadelphia," which airs weekdays from 7-9 a.m.
In a feature known as Sue’s Clues, Serio kept the location of her forecasts secret from the FOX-TV audience until 8:30 a.m. On broadcasts leading up to the reveal, she gave out clues to her location. For example, she told viewers she was in a place where:
- Three states converge;
- Three Leni Lenape trails joined;
- Where study abroad began;
- Where Edgar Allan Poe slept in a famous tavern; and
- Where Bob Marley worked in an automobile plant.
Additionally, the station aired the sound of a Blue Hen, which some viewers mistook for a turkey.
 Co-anchor of “Fox Morning News” and the newscaster for “Good Day, Philadelphia,” Christian Farr, a UD alumnus who graduated with a bachelor’s degree from the College of Arts and Science in 1995, chatted with Serio about his alma mater after her surprise location was revealed.
