Leaving NOLA for Raleigh

After 8 years at WDSU (New Orleans) meteorologist Kweilyn Murphy will be signing off from the station this week.

“I carry around Kleenex,” Murphy admitted, “because at any point I might break down and cry.”

She signs off on Friday and there will likely be some waterworks.

She says she is moving for personal and professional reasons. She will set up shop at WTVD in Raleigh, North Carolina, and that will put her closer to family in her native Pittsburgh.

“Besides Pittsburgh, New Orleans has been home,” Murphy said. “I know the place so well and feel so comfortable here. It’s sad leaving a place that means so much to me.”

“Sometimes we are gifted opportunities and we have to steward them. I felt like I couldn’t pass this opportunity up right now, while I have the chance to still be flexible.”
