News Center Maine (WCSH)<\/a>, in Portland, Maine.<\/p>\nAlan has been part of the 3NEWS family since 2012. A steady, trusted voice through every kind of weather South Texas can bring, Alan\u2019s calm and clear guidance has made him one of the most recognizable and respected figures in our community and in our newsroom.<\/p>\n
Whether warning viewers to take cover or celebrating a \u201csunny delight,\u201d Alan has always brought his warmth, humor, and deep care for the people of the Coastal Bend to every forecast. Beyond the weather center, he\u2019s given his time to countless nonprofit events, fundraisers, and community causes \u2013 always showing up with the same enthusiasm and heart he brings to his on-air work.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve grown into my adult life here, both personally and professionally,\u201d Holt said. \u201cI\u2019ve celebrated milestones that will forever tie me to the Coastal Bend \u2013 covering Hurricane Harvey, the snow that followed that December, getting married, and welcoming our baby girl into the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
3NEWS News Director Jonathan Munson, who has worked alongside Alan for 13 years, reflected on what his colleague means to the newsroom and the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlan and I started working at 3NEWS just weeks apart. He\u2019s been part of the heart of this newsroom ever since and I\u2019m so glad to say I got to grow alongside him for all these years,\u201d Munson said. \u201cHe\u2019s been a trusted source of information, a mentor to so many, and a true friend. As a Corpus Christi native, I can say he\u2019s left a mark on this community that will last well beyond his time on the air.\u201d<\/p>\n
3NEWS President and General Manager Rebecca Cantu shared that while Alan\u2019s departure is bittersweet, his decision reflects the same values that have always guided him.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlan\u2019s deep ties to the Coastal Bend and his dedication to serving this community have been extraordinary,\u201d Cantu said. \u201cWe understand the strong pull of family and the chance to be closer to loved ones in the Northeast. Though we\u2019ll miss Alan\u2019s leadership and presence in our newsroom, we\u2019re proud to see him take this next step within the TEGNA family.\u201d<\/p>\n
Born and raised in San Antonio, Alan earned his bachelor\u2019s degree in Communication from the University of Texas at San Antonio, and a master\u2019s degree in Geosciences (Broadcast Meteorology) from Mississippi State University, where he proudly played snare drum in The Famous Maroon Band. Before returning home to Texas, Alan worked in Wyoming at KTWO, earning recognition from the Wyoming Association of Broadcasters as one of the state\u2019s best meteorologists.
