Sally Jaramillo is a traffic and weather anchor at Spectrum News 1 SoCal. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Sally is overjoyed to finally be back home on the Golden Coast with her family, friends, and community.
Storytelling has been Sally’s passion since she first held a mic in her family’s talent shows. Early on, she knew she wanted to inspire, be a voice for her community, and change the world through journalism. She studied Media Studies and Spanish at Pitzer College, where she delivered the weather and a news segment for the school’s underground radio station, 88.7FM KSPC. Her dream of becoming a reporter then took her to KABC Los Angeles, where she worked as a news assistant and later as a traffic producer for the morning show. It was there that she learned everything she knows about news and met her mentors.
Following her time at KABC, Sally joined KIDY Fox News/KXVA Fox 15 in San Angelo and Abilene, Texas, working as a multimedia journalist, weather forecaster, and morning anchor. Sally then moved to Las Vegas, where she worked for 8 News Now as a weather anchor and general assignment reporter for nearly five years before joining the Spectrum News 1 team in 2022. In her current role, Sally hopes to inspire Southern California through her stories and share plenty of sunshine with her weather forecasts and traffic reports.
When she’s not working, Sally loves to travel, sing, spend time with her husband, family, and friends, and eat delicious food. Sally also enjoys giving back to her community with two mentoring organizations: Motivating Our Students Through Experience and USC’s Neighborhood Academic Initiative. Her biggest role model is her mother, who has shown her that through hard work and perseverance, you can make any dream a reality.
