WHDH news director Linda Miele has announced that Bri Eggers will be joining the station as a weekend evening meteorologist in an internal e-mail sent to staff.

"Bri’s been forecasting in her home state of Idaho at the ABC affiliate" Miele said, "She is very excited to come to Boston and take on Nor’easters and snowstorms."

A source at the station says Chris Lambert will move to weekend mornings, instead of being the sole meteorologist on weekend mornings and evenings.

Bri joins WHDH from KIVI-TV channel 6 in Boise, ID where she is currently the morning forcaster for "Good Morning Idaho."

Bri is a 2008 graduate of San Diego State University where she studied theatre arts. During her college career, Bri traveled all over Europe, including a summer program at Oxford University, a study abroad program in Holland, and even a stint working at EPCOT in Disney World, Orlando.

According to her bio page at kivitv.com, "Some think of forecasters as just "weather guessers," but Bri actually craves the science of the forecast.  She is always in search of why things are the way they are.  So, Bri is currently enrolled in the Certified Broadcast Meteorology program from Mississippi State University, and feels lucky to be able to apply her education to her work."

Bri starts at 7 News in October.
