DTN Meteorologist
Teresa Wells

Teresa Wells graduated in 2021 from the University of Oklahoma with a Bachelor of Science degree in meteorology and a minor in environmental sustainability. Since then, she has been a meteorologist with DTN, mainly creating and communicating forecasts for transportation and utility customers. Teresa works out of the Burnsville, Minnesota, office.

When she's not forecasting for transportation and utility clients, Teresa has started to become more involved in DTN's agriculture weather services, where she aims to tie her agriculture background to the weather. She grew up on her family's cattle and row crop operation in southwest Minnesota and continues to play an active role in the operation to this day.
