Meteorologist Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a meteorologist in Texas?
Texas does not require a state-issued license to work as a meteorologist, so the path runs through education and professional credentials. Most employers expect at least a bachelor's degree in meteorology or atmospheric science from an accredited program. From there, earning a Certified Broadcast Meteorologist or Certified Consulting Meteorologist designation from the American Meteorological Society strengthens your candidacy significantly, particularly for broadcast and private-sector roles that are common across Texas.
How much do meteorologists make in Texas?
Meteorologists in Texas earn a median of about $84,990 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $46,370 for the lowest 10% to over $131,750 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire meteorologists in Texas?
Employers hiring meteorologists in Texas right now include TEGNA, Spectrum, and GRAY MEDIA, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Texas's energy sector and its position as a major broadcast market mean that both private weather services and television groups maintain some of the largest and most consistent meteorologist rosters in the nation.
Which Texas cities have the most meteorologist jobs?
Dallas, Tyler, and Austin are the Texas cities with the most meteorologist openings, driven largely by Houston's concentration of energy companies that rely on operational weather forecasting, Dallas-Fort Worth's role as a major broadcast hub with multiple network affiliates, and Austin's growing technology and government sectors that include emergency management and environmental consulting.
Are there remote meteorologist jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely desk-based fields, since a significant share of meteorologist work involves on-site equipment, live broadcasts, or field observation. About 100% of meteorologist openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting a meaningful but limited share of the overall market. Roles most likely to offer remote arrangements include private weather consulting, climate data analysis, and long-range energy forecasting where real-time on-site presence is not required.
How can I get hired as a meteorologist in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is securing a broadcast meteorologist role at a smaller Texas television market, such as those in Lubbock, Amarillo, or Waco, where stations routinely hire recent graduates to build foundational on-air skills. The National Weather Service offices located throughout Texas also hire entry-level physical scientists and meteorologist interns who work alongside forecasters on operational duties. Completing an American Meteorological Society student conference presentation or holding a CBM-in-progress credential gives candidates a concrete edge when applying to these roles.
Where can I find and apply to meteorologist jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to meteorologist jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Texas openings across broadcast, energy, federal, and private-sector employers. Find roles that match your experience and specialty, then apply directly to each one.
