Michael Autovino joined the First Alert Weather Team in November 2025 as the weekday morning meteorologist. He is so happy to be back in the Dallas-Fort Worth area after previously working for CBS in 2023. He is a member of the American Meteorological Society and National Weather Association.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Michael always loved weather. At a young age he would look outside whenever there was snow and wondered "why is this happening?" After he graduated from Xavier High School in New York City in 2013, his curiosity lead him to earn his Bachelor of Science in Meteorology from Rutgers University in 2017. While in college, he interned for WNBC in New York City and News 12 in the Bronx.
Prior to working at CBS News Texas, Michael worked in New York City at Spectrum News-New York 1, at CBS as part of the CBS Now Newscast, a national show that aired in 10 major television markets across the country, while also filling in on CBS News Texas on weekends and for severe weather, in Knoxville, Tennessee at WATE 6, and in Pocatello, Idaho on KPVI News 6.
A team player who is especially passionate about covering extreme weather, Michael is excited to keep you safe and informed each day. When Michael is not on the air, you can catch him working out! You can watch his forecasts from 5-8 a.m. Monday through Friday on CBS texas Mornings and the CBS News Texas streaming channel.
A flood watch remains in effect through Friday morning for much of North Texas.
Scattered storms are popping up across North Texas, some of which may meet severe criteria.
Thursday and Friday are both First Alert Weather Days due to strong storms and heavy rain.
As of Sunday, DFW has had 100 consecutive days at 90° or higher, the longest streak ever. However, some big changes are on the way this week.
Temperatures stay warm this weekend for the State Fair of Texas, with highs in the 90s each day and plenty of clouds.
Expect a mix of clouds and sunshine later Wednesday, with a slim 10% chance of a shower or rumble mainly toward the western counties.
There is only a slim 10% chance of an isolated shower or rumble, mainly south of the Dallas-Fort Worth area, into Tuesday evening.
This cold front won't cool us down much, but it will drop our temperatures by a couple of degrees and slightly lower our humidity by Tuesday afternoon.
In fact, DFW will be very close to tying or setting new records as we move throughout the week.
Looking ahead to the rest of the week, we'll barely drop into the 90s by Thursday, but the 90s look to stick around into this weekend.
Meteorologists warn that hail may damage vehicles, while strong winds could bring down tree limbs and cause damage to roofs and siding.
Rain chances rise to 30% in DFW and increase to 40% by Thursday night.
There is a slim 10% chance of an isolated shower or rumble on Thursday afternoon west of the Metroplex, but this changes tomorrow.
A heat advisory remains in effect through 8 p.m. Wednesday for much of North Texas.
Feels-like temperatures will be as hot as 107° on Monday.
