An Arkansas native is returning home to become a weekend meteorologist for Little Rock’s NBC affiliate, KARK-TV.
Hayden Nix will join the station in February after working for ABC affiliate KTXS-TV in Abilene, Texas, as the morning meteorologist, according to a news release.
Nix, a native of Kingsland in Cleveland County, started his career in west Texas after graduating from Rison High School and Mississippi State University.
“It’s a joy and comfort to be able to say that I’m coming home,” Nix said. “Being closer to family means a lot to both my wife and myself.”
KARK News Director Austin Kellerman said Nix brings a keen understanding of “Arkansas’ constantly changing weather conditions.”
“No one knows that better than someone who grew up here,” Kellerman said. “Hayden brings a wealth of knowledge about the area and true love for Arkansas.”
