Brooke Laizer

Hailing from New Orleans, Louisiana, Hurricane Katrina inspired Brooke Laizer’s Atmospheric Science career by 5th grade.

A Mount Carmel Academy and Mississippi State University alumna, Brooke earned her Bachelor of Science degree. She also received the Louisiana, Mississippi Associated Press’ Best College Weathercast Award during Spring 2017.

Brooke immediately began her profession forecasting for Augusta, Georgia then Jackson, Mississippi in the state where she received her education on meteorology. From there, Brooke spent five years with WGNO ABC 26 as the Good Morning New Orleans Meteorologist before joining WWL-TV's Channel 4 family most recently.

Brooke is grateful to live out a lifelong dream forecasting for the station she grew up watching in her beloved city. New Orleans inspired Brooke's career 20 years ago when Hurricane Katrina hit. There's no place like home, and serving the community that her heart's always been within has proved exceptionally fulfilling, especially during Ida. She also claims winning Royal Sonesta's Greasing of the Poles in 2023 as a personal career highlight.

When not at work, Brooke loves volunteering, traveling, and rooting for the Saints, Pelicans, and Mississippi State Bulldogs.
