About The Position

Weather is the #1 reason viewers tune in, and in a Top 10 market, the stakes couldn't be higher. We are seeking a dynamic, science-driven Meteorologist to join our elite weather team. This isn't just about reading a forecast; it’s about owning the weather story across every platform—from breaking news on linear broadcast to high-energy streaming segments and viral social content. If you are a weather enthusiast who excels in "wall-to-wall" severe weather coverage and loves pushing the boundaries of graphic technology, we want to hear from you.

Requirements

Minimum of two (2) years of broadcast television weather anchor experience is required.
Bachelor’s degree in Meteorology or a related atmospheric science from a four-year college or university is preferred.
Valid driver’s license and a willingness to work on-site for real-time collaboration with our production and digital teams.
High proficiency in English grammar, spelling, and punctuation for digital and on-air copy.

Nice To Haves

Excellent performance skills with the ability to sustain long periods of unscripted coverage during breaking weather.
A keen understanding of what makes compelling television and how to incorporate visual elements effectively under deadline pressure.
A flexible schedule is a must—significant weather doesn't follow a 9-to-5, and neither do we.
A polite and effective communicator who enjoys making promotional appearances and engaging with the public both in person and online.

Responsibilities

Prepare and present weather content for broadcast, digital, and social platforms, including a unique, creative approach for our 24/7 streaming channel.
Constantly monitor for significant weather events and provide extended, calm, and accurate ad-lib coverage when our viewers need it most.
Master our state-of-the-art weather graphics systems to create stunning 3D animations, radar images, and data-driven visuals that make complex science easy to understand.
Collaborate with our Digital Content Creators to provide real-time updates for our website and mobile app, while maintaining an active, engaging presence on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and X.
Step out from behind the green screen to produce and present live or pre-produced weather-related stories from the field.
Advise the News Director and News Operations Manager on the latest hardware and software upgrades to keep our station at the cutting edge of meteorology.
