Holy warm front! Check out KCAL-TV's new weathercaster Jackie Johnson:
Johnson previously was a weathercaster and reporter for WSVN-TV in Miami since September 2001. Prior to that, she worked as a reporter and weekend weather anchor for WCTV-TV in Tallahassee, Florida. A native of Plymouth, Michigan, Johnson attended the University of Southern Alabama, concentrating on meteorology, and then went on to Middle Tennessee State University to get her degree in broadcast journalism.
For her more obvious qualifications, check out the videos at the link.
UPDATE: There are more pictures of weather forecaster and weathergal Jackie Johnson in this post.
