Grace Williams, currently working as a weekend meteorologist at the University of Alabama-owned WVUA 23 in Tuscaloosa, posted on social media that she will join WVUE, Gray’s Fox affiliate in New Orleans in May, according to nola.

A New Orleans native, Williams, 22, will graduate from Mississippi State University next month with a degree in broadcast meteorology, according to WVUA’s website.

“This moment means absolutely everything to me,” Williams posted. “New Orleans is where I fell in love with weather, watching the local meteorologists on TV, dreaming of one day being just like them. Now I get to come home and live out that dream in the city that shaped me. I cannot wait to serve YOU, New Orleans!!”

Williams first found her desire to report on the weather when she stood in the eye of a Category 4 hurricane, according to WVUA’s website.

She is a member of the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority and has explored 10 national parks.

The announcement of her hiring comes a week after Fox 8 meteorologist Hannah Gard said she would be leaving the station and New Orleans so her husband could continue his education to become a physical therapist.
