will make her on-air debut on Wednesday, October 17th alongside NBC 7 Anchors

Parveen
joins NBC 7 from sister NBC station WRC in Washington, D.C. where she served as
their weekday morning meteorologist. Prior to this, she was the weekday evening
meteorologist for another sister NBC station, WCAU, in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. Parveen started her broadcast meteorology degree in her home
state of Florida.
“Sheena’s
education, training, and experience makes her a top meteorologist. Her genuine

team and become part of the San Diego community.”
Parveen is
an American Meteorological Society Certified Broadcast Meteorologist. In her
career, she’s forecasted and covered hurricanes, tornadoes, and blizzards. Some
of Parveen’s most notable weather coverage was when Hurricane Sandy made
landfall at the New Jersey Shore; as well as, the blizzard of 2016 that
demanded round the clock coverage for multiple days.
“While I’ve appreciated the opportunity to
forecast all different types of weather events in different parts of our
country, I’m excited to finally make my way to beautiful Southern California;
an area I have dreamed of moving to.” Parveen said, “I’m thrilled to be working
at NBC 7 with such a great morning team and I hope San Diego will wake up with
us every morning so I can help people have their best day!”
