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.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for the entire region.
After Wednesday, all eyes are on our winter system.
Even though it's still too early to discuss rain, sleet and ice totals, here's a current outlook of the next system.
An arctic air mass is set to bring dangerously cold air and wintry precipitation to North Texas this weekend. We have issued First Alert Weather Days for Friday through Sunday for all of this.
Sunday's morning low will be in the 20s and feels-like temperatures in the teens.
A cold front is set to arrive in North Texas on Friday, with highs back in the 40s on Saturday.
As a cold front moves through, gusty winds are expected in the afternoon up to 40 mph.
Throughout the day, highs rise into the mid-60s with the help of southwest winds.
Low temperatures fall into the upper 30s on Saturday morning.
Temperatures on Friday will be 10 degrees cooler than Thursday, and drop even more by Saturday.
On Wednesday evening, a cold front will build from the west which has the potential to bring showers and storms.
Through the day, expect partly cloudy skies with temperatures rising into the mid-70s.
Temperatures start in the 40s and 50s on Monday, with mild highs rising into the mid-70s by afternoon.
Friday in North Texas is warmer than earlier this week, but a cold front is on the way and will drop temperatures over the weekend.
Tuesday morning will still be chilly, as winds remain out of the north and skies continue to clear.
