She also offered a sneak peek at Southern California\u2019s Halloween forecast, sharing weather maps from Tuesday evening and asking fans whether they thought rain would spoil the holiday.<\/p>\n

The announcement drew cheers from colleagues at both her former and new stations. KTLA meteorologist Vera Jimenez commented, \u201cYay! So glad your back on!!\u201d<\/p>\n

FOX 11 anchor Brooke Thomas was already looking forward to sharing the desk with her new teammate, writing, \u201cYay can\u2019t wait for our first newscast together!\u201d<\/p>\n

Montoya\u2019s departure from KTLA came in April as part of corporate layoffs, rather than an individual firing.<\/p>\n

After her final broadcast, she shifted her focus full-time to Fix\u2019n Fidos, her animal welfare nonprofit, which funds spay and neuter services across Southern California.<\/p>\n
