A New Orleans native who graduated from Mt. Carmel Academy is joining WVUE-TV\u2019s meteorology team, she announced on social media this week.<\/p>\n

Grace Williams said in a Wednesday post that she will start at the station in May. She currently works as a weekend meteorologist at the University of Alabama-owned WVUA 23 in Tuscaloosa.<\/p>\n

Williams, 22, will graduate from Mississippi State University next month with a degree in broadcast meteorology, according to WVUA\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis moment means absolutely everything to me. New Orleans is where I fell in love with weather, watching the local meteorologists on TV, dreaming of one day being just like them,\u201d Williams said in a social media post. \u201cNow I get to come home and live out that dream in the city that shaped me. I cannot wait to serve YOU, New Orleans!!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

News of Williams\u2019 hiring comes a week after Fox 8 meteorologist Hannah Gard<\/a> said she would be leaving the station and the Crescent City so her husband could continue his education to become a physical therapist.<\/p>\n

Williams first found her desire to report on the weather when she stood in the eye of a Category 4 hurricane, according to WVUA\u2019s website. She is also a member of the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority and has explored 10 national parks, her bio said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
