Houston and Austin television news collide, with KXAN morning meteorologist Kristen Currie filling in for CW39 KIAH, as it's currently missing a member of its weather team.
"I’M NOT LEAVING KXAN," Currie assured her loyal Central Texas TV viewers. "I’m just on loan! Our sister station in Houston is in a staffing pinch & needed a warm body - so I’m just here to help out for a few days.
Currie goes on to say, "Don’t go fallin’ in love with anybody, I’ll be back in Austin next week (promise!)"
Yeah, but what if Houstonians fall in love with her and she stays on the south end of Highway 290 at the Houston Nexstar station? If she has an agent, they might advise her against that, but you never know!
Currie joined KXAN in July 2019 and has spent the past six years as the morning meteorologist for the First Warning Weather team.
Before making the move to Central Texas, Currie was the morning meteorologist at KRQE News 13 Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she worked for nearly five years. She began her on-air meteorology career in Lubbock as the morning meteorologist at KAMC 28 News.
Currie holds a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science from the University of Colorado Boulder and later earned her Certificate in Broadcast Meteorology from Mississippi State University, completing the program in 2016.
