Hillary Howard is an Emmy Award-winning reporter, writer and weathercaster who has hopscotched around Washington radio and television since arriving in 1989.

Her career is marked with a versatility that traverses mediums and subjects. Originally a radio newsperson in suburban New York, Hillary jumped to television as a weathercaster and reporter in the Catskills. The weather stuck. She was a weekend weather forecaster at WAVY-TV in Norfolk, Va., and again at WTTG until taking over the weekend anchor slot. At WUSA she was the morning weather forecaster from 2000 to 2004.

Though Hillary won an Emmy for best weathercaster in Washington, her reporting has garnered the most notice. She's won statues for hard news and feature reporting. Hillary also won a Chesapeake AP Award and took an Imagen Award for a story impacting the Hispanic community. Hillary's look at the pfiesteria outbreak on Maryland's Eastern Shore placed as a finalist in the New York TV and Film Festivals. She also does narrations and has written for HGTV.

Outside of work Hillary loves being outside! She's rafted the Colorado River through Utah's Cataract Canyon and Arizona's Grand. She loves the austere landscape of the desert. But the glaciers of Alaska mark a most special place after an 11-day trip on the Tatshenshini.

Of all her experiences the most joyous is being a mom. Hillary, husband Dave Statter and their son, Sammy, live in Virginia.
