News Press Now is switching things up!

Starting this week, I’ll be stepping into the role of weekday weather reporter while covering weekend weather.

I will be taking on stories that will be focused on weather, climate, and the environment. I’m excited to showcase my creativity and to grow as a storyteller.

I’ll be doing more live shots like the ones you see in this video.

I am so excited for this opportunity, but it also makes me sad not to work with Kyle Schmidt- NPNOW and my other co workers every morning at 4am! They all guided me and taught me so much in the past year.

Abigail, you are going to kill it in the morning. Everyone make sure to tune in to our new times for News Press Now Morning Edition from 5 to 7 a.m. Abigail McCluskey-NPNow
