Tammie Souza is a well-known American meteorologist recognized for her engaging weather reporting and strong presence in broadcast journalism. She has appeared on several major television stations across the United States and has also been recognized with multiple awards for her contributions to the field.
Tammie Souza was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, though her exact date of birth is not publicly known. She was raised in San Diego, California, alongside her siblings. While she participated in community and school singing events during her youth, she did not pursue music professionally. Raised primarily by her mother due to her father's frequent job-related relocations, Souza maintains a close relationship with her siblings. The family shares a strong Christian faith, which has been an integral part of their upbringing.
Souza attended an all-girls high school—presumed to be a local equivalent of Nancy High School—where she excelled in geography. Her passion for the subject later evolved into a career in meteorology. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree from San Diego State University. To further her expertise, she enrolled in Mississippi State University’s meteorology program, completing advanced studies and obtaining her pilot's license during this time. Her formal training laid the foundation for her future in broadcast meteorology.
Tammie Souza began her career in television as a morning and afternoon meteorologist at KHSL-TV in California. She subsequently worked in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, before moving to WMAQ-TV in Chicago, where she spent six years delivering weather updates and educational presentations for schools as part of outreach programs. Her role at WMAQ-TV helped her build a reputation for accessible and educational weather broadcasting.
She later became the chief meteorologist at WTSP-TV in Tampa, Florida, where she worked for two years. A notable fact about her career is that she and her sister, Patty Souza, were both on-air meteorologists—Patty at KXTV in Sacramento. At one time, they were the only sister duo simultaneously presenting weather on television in the United States. Tammie holds both AMS and CBM seals, indicating her certification by the American Meteorological Society, of which she is also a member.
In addition to her meteorology work, Tammie Souza made limited appearances in entertainment. She appeared in the film Double Deception and had roles in television series such as Freddy’s Nightmares and Ellen.
