She was also host of the NBA Countdown pregame show on ABC as part of the network's NBA Sunday game coverage.

Storm was born in Oak Park, Illinois, and is the daughter of sports executive Mike Storen, who was a commissioner of the American Basketball Association, general manager of that league's Indiana Pacers, Kentucky Colonels and Memphis Sounds franchises, and president of the Atlanta Hawks in the NBA. Her mother, Hannah G. Storen, is a successful real estate agent in Houston, Texas. She graduated from Westminster Schools of Atlanta in 1979 and the University of Notre Dame in 1983, with degrees in political science and communications. On Jan 8, 1994, she married sportscaster Dan Hicks. The couple have three daughters: Riley, Ellery and Hannah.

Storm took her on-air name during her stint as a disc jockey for a hard rock radio station in Corpus Christi, Texas, in the early 1980s. While at Notre Dame, she worked for WNDU-TV, the then-Notre Dame-owned NBC affiliate in South Bend, Indiana. After graduation, she took a job as a disc jockey at KNCN-FM (C-101) in Corpus Christi, Texas. Six months later, she got a job at a Houston rock station KSRR 97 Rock as the drive-time sportscaster. Storm stayed in Houston for four years doing a variety of radio and television jobs, including hosting the Houston Rockets halftime and postgame shows and also hosted Houston Astros postgame shows on television. She worked as a weekend sports anchor on WCNC TV 36 (formerly WRET) in Charlotte, NC in 1988–89. She made the leap to CNN from there.

Storm has written two books: Go Girl, a parenting guide for raising daughters to participate in sports, which is in its second printing, and Notre Dame Inspirations, which funds a journalism scholarship in her name at her alma mater. She has also contributed extensively to several magazines, including Cosmopolitan, Nick Jr., Family Circle, Child, and Notre Dame Magazine.

In 2008 Storm created the Hannah Storm Foundation, which raises awareness and provides treatment for children suffering from debilitating and disfiguring vascular birthmarks. She also sits on the boards of the Tribeca Film Festival, Colgate Women's Sports Awards, 21st Century Kids 1st Foundation, and has done extensive work with the March of Dimes, Partnership for a Drug-Free America, Boys and Girls Club, Special Olympics, the Women's Sports Foundation, Vascular Birthmark Institute, University of Notre Dame, and the Diocese of Bridgeport. Storm also founded Brainstormin' Productions for the creation of educational and inspirational programming. In May 2011, Hannah received "Celebrated Mom" award from LifeWorx, Inc, Chappaqua, NY. This award is given a Mom who inspires others, in spite of career and family challenges.

On December 11, 2012, Storm sustained second degree burns to her chest and hands, and first degree burns to her neck and face resulting from a propane gas grill accident at her home. Her fifteen year-old daughter alerted authorities of the accident. She lost her eyebrows, eyelashes and roughly half her hair. After receiving advanced medical care from the Burn Center at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, NY, Storm returned to the air January 1, 2013 co-hosting the Rose Parade on ABC while wearing a bandage on her left hand and sporting hair extensions, and returned to SportsCenter on January 13, 2013 to host the Sunday morning SportsCenter with Bob Ley.
