Betty Davis joined the Local 10 weather team in the fall of 2011. If she looks familiar, perhaps you remember her from The Weather Channel. Betty spent nearly five years on the national scene working as an on-camera meteorologist for the network. Before departing, she was co-host of "Weekend View," The Weather Channel's highest-rated program.
Betty has worked in several television markets, including Macon, Ga., Charleston, S.C., and Raleigh/Durham, N.C. While in the Tarheel State, she braved crippling ice storms and traveled to the Carolina and Gulf coasts to file reports on hurricane preparedness. She has done just about every job related to television, from rolling teleprompter to "ripping scripts." Early in her career, she even spent time as a writer for CNN Headline News.
