KTHV (Little Rock) morning Meteorologist Mariel Ruiz is leaving the station, but she is staying in the Tegna family.

Ruiz, who has been with KTHV since June 2016, has been hired at KVUE in Austin.

“My husband and I will miss Arkansas, and I know it will always be a part of us,” Ruiz said.

In the statement, KTHV News Director Dave Parker called Ruiz's new job a "good opportunity." No information on her replacement has been announced.

Her last day on air in Arkansas will be Sept. 6.
