Where Are They Now

Today we feature former KTAL meteorologist Kelly Cox.

Kelly attended MTSU on a presidential scholarship and graduated with a degree in electronic journalism. While there, she was active in her sorority, anchored the weather for the student news station and completed an internship at WKRN News 2 in Nashville.

At Mississippi State University, she received a degree in broadcast meteorology with an academic award of distinction.

Her career began at Fox 24 News in Macon, Georgia, where she was a weather anchor and environmental reporter. Most recently, she spent two years as the morning show meteorologist for KTAL in Shreveport, Louisiana. While there, she covered some of the nation's strongest severe weather, including four major hurricanes!

Kelly is a member of both the American Meteorological Society and the National Weather Association, and is a storm spotter for the National Weather Service.

What's Kelly doing now? She is the weekend meteorologist at WVLT in Knoxville, TN and highlights the interesting people and places of East Tennessee in feature reports during the week.
