  • A positive, team-first attitude and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced newsroom environment.

  • Familiarity with the latest forecasting tools and digital weather platforms.

  • Strong understanding of the field of Meteorology and a proven track record of forecasting.

  • Valid driver's license with a good driving record.

You’ll join a passionate, collaborative newsroom team that believes local news should feel personal, not formulaic. Every day, you’ll help viewers stay informed, prepared, and connected to their community — and have some fun while doing it. If you love the weather, love the people who live in it, and love bringing great storytelling to the screen, we’d love to meet you.
