No mention that she was bestowed the title "Chief Meteorologist" there, though, only "weather girl".

As a google query, first-female-chief-meteorologist is unhelpfully producing stacks of first-in-the-locality hits: Tammy Souza in Tampa Bay (2008); Kristine Kahanek in Dallas (2002); Amy Freeze in Chicago (2007); Terri Bennett in the Carolinas (1997?).

While Dr. Simpson may not have been considered by a TV station to be their chief meteorologist, her NASA credentials ("<a href="http:\/\/www.boston.com\/bostonglobe\/obituaries\/articles\/2010\/03\/09\/joanne_malkus_simpson_famed_female_meteorologist\/" target="_blank">Chief Scientist for Meteorology at Goddard Space Flight Center</a>") are far more impressive than a TV title.
