Meet The Team

Kristin Emery

Talk about a rousing welcome to Toledo: One of my first days on the air here at 13ABC doing the weather was June 21, 2006. That night, we were deluged with rain, lightning and tornado warnings and were on the air for 7 hours without a break! It certainly helped me to get acquainted with all of our local cities and towns.

I was born and raised in the Pittsburgh area and my family still lives in Washington, PA. Yes, I'm a diehard Steelers fan and love sports! In fact, I originally wanted to be a sports reporter. I graduated from West Virginia University with a degree in broadcast journalism and somehow wound up doing the weather in Steubenville, Ohio. My boss there, Brian Trauring, is now our news director here at 13abc Action News!

I've done just about every job in the newsroom during my career from producing to news reporting and anchoring. But something about doing the weather always intrigued me and made me happy-- whether it's forecasting in the studio or outside reporting on the elements. I've covered hurricanes in Florida, ice storms in North Carolina, flooding in West Virginia and blizzards in Pennsylvania. I decided to go back to school for meteorology and finished my studies at Mississippi State University. I now hold Seals of Approval from both the American Meteorological Society and the National Weather Association. Before coming to 13ABC, I worked in Baltimore for Sinclair Broadcast Group and forecasted weather for stations across the country.

You can catch my forecasts on 13ABC Action News weekend evenings and when I fill in for other Storm Team meteorologists. And you can email me at kristin.emery@email.disney.com. In my free time, I love to travel, snow ski, play golf and support my Pittsburgh and WVU sports teams. Go Mountaineers!
