Tom Skilling and Dennis McCarthy

[Mike Smith]

Dennis McCarthy, career meteorologist of the National Weather Service, passed away earlier this week due to complications of COVID.
John was a former MIC for STL and then OUN, and then moving on to NWS HQ. His entire obituary is here: Dennis Howard McCarthy Obituary 2023 - Baue Funeral Homes

Tom Skilling, of WGN-TV in Chicago, announced his retirement. There is a fine tribute article here: www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2023/10/13/tom-skilling-meteorologist-chicago-retiring/

I wish he could join the Weather Channel and have them use his style of graphics overload

I liked him on one hand—and the simplicity of AM WEATHER on the other.

Back in the day, WGN was on cable and we were able to watch Tom's forecast, one of the few available before full-blown Internet.

Two of the great ones, no doubt about it!
