Overview
- 6ABC announced Thursday that chief meteorologist Cecily Tynan will retire with her final broadcast at 6 p.m. on Aug. 31.
- Tynan joined the station in 1995, became chief meteorologist in 2009, and guided viewers through major regional events such as the Blizzard of 1996, Hurricane Sandy, and post‑Ida flooding.
- General manager John W. Morris praised Tynan as a trusted on‑air voice and newsroom leader who has been central to the station’s daily newscasts and holiday coverage.
- The station has not named a replacement and local reporting lists possible internal candidates — Karen Rogers, Adam Joseph, and Brittany Boyer — while management considers a successor.
- Tynan said she plans to spend more time with family and water‑ski in Florida, and the change will prompt viewers to watch how 6ABC fills a high‑visibility public‑safety role on its top newscasts.
