Trey Fulbright

Trey Fulbright is the newest meteorologist on the KDKA First Alert Weather Team. In addition to seeing his forecasts on air, he also does weather and climate reporting. Trey comes to KDKA from Des Moines, IA, where he was a meteorologist and storm chaser at KCCI, which was his first full-time position. Trey graduated from Iowa State University with a Bachelor of Science in meteorology in 2022. Trey is pursuing a Master of Science in applied meteorology from The Graduate School at Mississippi State University.

Trey grew up in Texas and Tennessee where he developed and nurtured his lifelong passion in meteorology. He has always loved weather since he was a young child, but the 2008 Super Tuesday Tornado Outbreak solidified his passion for meteorology.

He continued to nurture his passion for meteorology in high school by attending National Weather Service storm spotter training courses and community programs held by local broadcast meteorologists.

While an undergraduate at Iowa State, he participated in internships at the National Weather Service and a summer research program affiliated with the National Science Foundation.

Outside of meteorology, Trey loves cooking, disc golfing, and occasionally fishing. He is an avid outdoors person and loves hiking and exploring nature. He also loves to volunteer in the community and with his church.

He looks forward to learning more and exploring what Pittsburgh has to offer as well as trying some of the great food options around town and even hitting up a Pirates, Steelers, or Penguins game!
