Megan joined the Newsline 9 team in January 2007 after graduating from Penn State University with a B.S. degree in Meteorology. She is the weekend meteorologist for Newsline 9, but also provides weathercasts for Fox 55 News at 9 twice a week.

While attending Penn State, she gained considerable forecasting experience interning at WTAJ-TV in Altoona, PA. She also worked for the Penn State Weather Communications Group where she took detailed weather observations and assisted in the production of a live, 15-minute weather show called “Weather World”. In addition, she hosted a weekly student weather show called “Weather Or Not” and was the producer of “Weather Whys”, a popular segment on Weather World that features Dr. Jon Nese, who was formally with the Weather Channel.

Megan is from just outside Pittsburgh, PA but is really excited about the extreme weather conditions of the Upper Midwest! She is looking forward to sharing her passion for the weather with the community!
