A well-known local meteorologist is bidding farewell to her home station after less than a year, becoming the fourth on-air personality to leave since summer.

Julia Fife, aged 31, who has been a meteorologist at KDFW-TV, the Fox affiliate in Dallas, Texas, revealed on Monday that the next day would be her final one at the station.

“It has been an honor to work alongside industry legends I have admired for years,” she shared on social media.

“Thank you, DFW, for welcoming me into your homes. It’s been an amazing experience and a dream come true for this Texas native. Stay tuned [heart emoji],” she added.

Fife’s shocking announcement came just five months after she started at KDFW. She posted a photo at the station in July with the caption: ‘Full circle moment. DFW, I’m back.’ It is unclear why she left, although the station she works for has shed multiple staff as TV networks and affiliates cut costs. 

Fife’s career in meteorology followed her studies at the University of Texas, and she previously danced for the Dallas Mavericks.

She returned to Texas earlier this year after a stint at another local Fox affiliate in Memphis, Tennessee.

Fife worked as a meteorologist on the station’s Good Morning Memphis broadcast for two years before returning to Dallas. 

Julia Fife, 31, announced earlier this week that she was leaving KDFW-TV after just a few months at the station 

Fife joined KDFW in July after a stint at a station in Memphis. She previously cheered at the University of Texas and was a dancer for the Dallas Mavericks 

Fife is the fourth on-air personality to depart the station this year. She didn’t announce where she was going or why she was leaving 

The meteorologist’s followers flocked to her social media to express their disappointment at her sudden departure. 

‘That maybe the fastest exit in FOX4 History,’ one comment read. 

‘It continues… should we start taking bets on who is leaving next?!’ another wrote. 

‘Let me guess…… The Weather Channel?’ a third speculated. 

‘MAKES ME WONDER WHAT IS GOING ON A FOX 4 — Too many retiring or moving on to different positions,’ a fourth added. 

KDFW has lost four on-air personalities this year. Dylan Federico left the station in July for Miami Fox affiliate, WSVN. 

Fife took over for Federico over the summer, but another meteorologist, Evan Andrews, retired shortly after.   

Popular news anchor Hanna Battah left KDFW to join ABC World News Now and Good Morning America First Look in New York City in October. 

Fife’s colleague and ‘best friend’ Hanna Battah left the station earlier this year to work for ABC News in New York 

Fife congratulated her ‘best friend’ for the promotion at the time, writing on Instagram: ‘Hanna, you’re the most encouraging, humble, talented, loyal, and beautiful person I know. 

‘I’m so proud of you and can’t wait to see you shine in your next chapter.’

Just a few weeks ago, Fife posted a video of herself watching Battah on ABC News and wrote: ‘Watching your best friend make her dream come true.’ 

Although Fife didn’t share why she’s leaving the station or if she has another position lined up, some of her followers have speculated that she’s set to join Battah in New York. 

‘Dang everyone keeps leaving. I think you are going to go be with Hannah 100% Big Apple,’ one comment read. 

‘First Hanna. And you!!! Who’s stealing our Texas Girls!!!!’ another wrote. 

The Daily Mail has reached out to Fife and KDFW for comment.
