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.
