As part of the switches, Monstrola will become the primary fill-in for longtime chief weathercaster Jim Spencer.

The station has also hired a fourth meteorologist, Rosie Newberry, to fill the spot vacated in July by Natalie Stoll,who took a communications job with the Lower Colorado River Authority.

Newberry will deliver the weather on KXAN’s weekend morning newscasts. She arrives in Austin after working for a station in Columbia, Mo.
