Kait Parker is the meteorologist for Today on 5 on Saturday and Saturday mornings and fills multiple other roles within the weather department during the week. She joined the NewsChannel 5 team in December of 2010.

Kait comes to NewsChannel 5 from Montgomery, Alabama where she was the weekday morning meteorologist. While in Montgomery, Kait also coordinated all the community events for the station that helped benefit local charities and non-profits. She also spent her free time volunteering at the Montgomery Humane Society so much they asked her to be on the planning board! While volunteering for the humane society, Kait found a best friend in Brewsky, a large American Bulldog/Lab mix. Needless to say, "Bruce" is now a part of Kait's family and is loving the beaches of South Florida!

While studying at the University of Missouri, Kait had the opportunity to begin her on-air work as a meteorologist for the local NBC affiliate. She also taught a class to freshmen students about storm chasing for two years and was a member of both the Storm Chase Team and Meteorology Club Treasurer.

Kait also interned for WFAA in Dallas, Texas where she gained a great deal of knowledge and fine-tuned her on-air work.

Kait is thrilled to be in South Florida, where the weather presents a constant challenge and the beach provides a great escape. When Kait isn't at NewsChannel 5, she loves spending time at the dog beach with "Bruce", reading a good book and creating fabulous new dishes in the kitchen.
