"Whether it’s being a steady voice during severe weather coverage or delivering the forecast from one of Milwaukee’s many festivals, it’s clear to all Marisa shines no matter the situation."
Marisa will join Tom Durian, Symone Woolridge, Adriana Mendez, Andrea Albers, and Elaine Rojas-Castillo full-time beginning October 3rd.
"I am super excited to join TMJ4 News Today. I have some big shoes to fill, but I look forward to getting people ready for the day, no matter what Mother Nature brings," Woloszyn said. "I'm thrilled to join Tom, Symone, Adriana, Elaine, and Andrea on TMJ4 News Today to as we start this new adventure together. The forecast is looking bright!"
