Rachael Jay is a First Alert Meteorologist who joined the WJZ team in November 2024. The Maryland native came to WJZ from NBC Connecticut after stops in Norfolk, Virginia, and Waterloo, Iowa.
Rachael is a graduate of Penn State University's meteorology program (we are!). She earned the title of Certified Broadcast Meteorologist from the American Meteorological Society (AMS). Within the AMS, she has volunteered her time as a member of the Board for Early Career Professionals.
Her work in the digital and social media spaces led to her being hand-picked by the AMS to join the Board for Digital Meteorologists.
Jay hopes that her work on-air and online will help to make science more accessible and enjoyable to those who may come across it - and spark or even reignite interest in science for a wider audience. She also hopes to inspire young girls to pursue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM).
