The San Antonio Express-News has an opening for a creative meteorologist to join a new weather science team operating within the newsroom. The Newsroom Meteorologist will write daily forecasts for the greater San Antonio-Austin region and be the scientific expert on the team, focused on explaining complex weather concepts in writing to a general audience in an engaging and smart manner.
