A weekend morning meteorologist at 7News in Boston is now an on-air host with FOX Weather.

Melanie Black started her new role Thursday, which is based in New York City, according to a release from FOX Weather, which is a free, ad-supported steaming television (FAST) service.

“I’m honored that FOX Weather entrusts me to report the important weather stories to viewers across the country each and every day,” she said in a statement.

Black had been with 7News for three years and previously worked for NBC affiliates in Sacramento, California, and Tucson, Arizona, as well as in Joplin, Missouri. She’s a graduate of the University of Arizona and received her meteorology certification from Mississippi State.

With Black’s departure, 7News’s weather team now consists of Jeremy Reiner, Chris Lambert, Josh Wurster, and Kelly Costa.
