Former CT TV Meteorologist Lands New East Coast Job

CONNECTICUT — Meteorologist Rachael Jay, who left NBC Connecticut in October, has landed a new job at WJZ in Baltimore, she announced on Facebook.

The move to Maryland is not the first time she has worked there, having had a job at HMTV6 in Hagerstown.

"2024 has been a year of ups and downs for me," wrote Jay, who left NBC Connecticut after nearly three years at the station. "No matter what the next 6 weeks brings, I'll be ending the year back in my home state, 8.5 years after leaving."

WJZ is a CBS affiliate, and bills itself as "Maryland's News Station."

Jay has been recognized by the American Meteorological Society as a Certified Broadcast Meteorologist, and received a B.S. in Metrology with a minor in Spanish at Penn State, according to her LinkedIn profile.

In addition to HMTV6 and NBC Connecticut (WVIT-TV), Jay also worked at KWWL in Waterloo, Iowa; and at WVEC in Norfolk, Virginia.
