Collin Myers Returns to Houston TV After Five Years in Dallas‑Fort Worth

It’s a home‑coming of sorts for many Houstonians. After five years of forecasting the weather for Dallas‑Fort Worth, Collin Myers announced on Monday that he’s packing his bags and heading back to Space City.

Myers, who first cut his teeth in Texas at Austin’s KEYE, landed at Houston’s ABC 13 (KTRK) in 2017. He spent four years there, covering everything from routine heat waves to the wild chaos of Tropical Storm Imelda. In 2021 he made the leap across state lines, joining Dallas‑area stations KTVT and WFAA, where he continued to chase storms and even logged 14 tornadoes on film.

“Houston, I’m back,” the meteorologist wrote on Instagram, followed by a promise to appear on his new beat soon. The post came right after KPRC 2 confirmed the hire, noting that Myers is a “familiar face” who already knows the city’s fickle weather patterns.

KPRC’s press release also highlighted a slew of recent hires, including fellow meteorologist Rachel Briers. The station has been under a bit of a cloud lately—former KPRC forecaster Brittany Begley accused management of turning a blind eye to newsroom issues—so Myers’ arrival is being billed as a fresh infusion of talent.

Beyond the radar and satellite loops, Myers has a few quirky credentials. In 2019 he stepped onto the hot seat of ABC’s Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, walked away with $30,000 and promptly donated the winnings to Living Water International. He’s also a self‑professed storm chaser, a hobby that’s given him front‑row seats to some of Texas’s most violent weather.

On the personal side, Myers is married, father of two, and, according to his own posts, expecting a third child—a welcome addition to what local media are jokingly dubbing the “Houston TV news baby boom.”

Fans can expect to see him on KPRC’s morning and evening broadcasts, bringing his blend of scientific rigor, on‑the‑ground storytelling, and a dash of hometown charm. For now, the city’s weather watchers can look forward to hearing a familiar voice once again when the next thunderstorm rolls in.
