KPRC 2 is looking for a Part-Time Meteorologist who leads with digital and understands that weather in Houston doesn’t follow a broadcast clock. This role requires someone who can shift gears — from a practical, grounded explanation of a rainy commute to an urgent, aggressive live presence during a severe weather event — and knows the difference matters.
You’ll work across platforms, with digital and social as your primary output, contributing to linear broadcasts as scheduled.
What You’ll Do:
- Produce weather content daily for KPRC2.com, the app, and social platforms — forecasts, graphics, short-form video, and real-time updates
- Deliver clear, useful guidance on everyday weather disruptions: flooding risk, fog, oppressive heat, dense humidity — the conditions that affect how Houstonians move through their day
- Escalate appropriately and urgently when conditions warrant — severe thunderstorms, tropical threats, flash flood emergencies — with a presence that commands attention and drives action
- Collaborate with the weather team on storm coverage, filling in on-air as needed
- Build and maintain a digital audience through consistent, trustworthy, platform-native content
- Monitor conditions outside scheduled shifts and communicate proactively when the situation demands it
What We’re Looking For:
- AMS or NWA certification, or in progress
- Broadcast meteorology experience — TV, digital, or both
- Strong command of forecast tools and graphics systems (Baron experience a plus)
- Fluency on social — you understand how weather content performs across platforms and you adapt accordingly
- A communication style that adjusts to the moment: calm and practical for routine weather, direct and urgent when it counts
- Willingness to flex availability — this role includes nights, weekends, and on-call expectations during active weather
