Nelly Carreño has announced her moved to afternoons from evenings at New England Cable News.

"Big announcement!!" she said on her Instagram. "I’m happy to announce that starting today I will be on in the afternoons instead of during the evening on NECN & you can watch me almost every 15 minutes from 10am-4pm Monday through Friday."

Nelly had been working evenings with LaToyia Edwards and Mike Nikitas and said working with them "has been a great experience & a total pleasure."

Nelly also announced that this move will allow her to do more reporting (she has an extensive reporting background), as well as do more work with NBCUniversal sister station Telemundo Boston.

Nelly came to NECN in 2010 from NBCUniversal sister stations WSNS-TV Telemundo Chicago where she was a meteorologist/entertainment anchor, and WMAQ-TV NBC 5 where she was a fill-in meteorologist.

Nelly has also worked at AccuWeather, and three televisions stations in Texas - KXTX-TV in Dallas, KVII-TV in Amarillo, and KTXS-TV in Abilene.

A native of Mexico City, Mexico, Nelly was raised in Texas and is a 1999 graduate of The University of Texas at Austin where she studied broadcast journalism. She also attained her certificate of broadcast meteorology from Mississippi State University in 2010.

We will update this as we get more info.
