About Emily

Emily Borchard is a meteorologist and traffic anchor with Spectrum News Austin and San Antonio, joining the team in 2014.

Emily grew up in Corpus Christi, Texas, and was interested in weather at a young age. She was afraid of thunderstorms growing up, so wanted to study meteorology to understand why storms become violent and dangerous.

Emily started her TV career in her hometown of Corpus Christi at KZTV, and then headed out west to Midland/Odessa where she was a morning meteorologist at KWES-TV.
