Somara Theodore is moving from local to national news — leaving Washington D.C.’s NBC station WRC-TV to join ABC News as a meteorologist based in New York, reports TVNewser.

The TVNewser post adds that “Theodore has served on WRC’s Storm Team 4 for the past six years, reporting forecasts on the weekend-edition newscasts, NBCWashington.com, WTOP Radio as well as NBC’s Weekend Today. Additionally, she provided wall-to-wall coverage of Hurricane Ian this past September for MSNBC.

“Prior to WRC-TV, Theodore was the morning meteorologist at WEWS-TV in Cleveland, where she won an Emmy for her morning weathercast of a deadly plane crash in Akron, Ohio.

“In this new role at ABC News, Theodore will serve as the network’s third New York-based meteorologist, working alongside chief meteorologist and managing editor of ABC News’ climate unit Ginger Zee and senior meteorologist Rob Marciano.
