I was informed today by a few different people of the news that Gary Shore, meteorologist at KCAU-TV in Sioux City, IA passed away yesterday at the age of 55. Gary previously worked in Washington DC, Tulsa, OK and Huntsville, AL before coming to work in Sioux City, IA as the chief meteorologist. He graduated from New York Univ and then Penn State with a Masters degree in Meteorology. You could tell he enjoyed the weather and loved forecasting by watching his weather-casts on TV, which I have done for several years growing up in the Sioux City viewing area. I also had the privilege of meeting him at the Severe Storms & Doppler Radar Conference in Des Moines.
He is survived by his wife and two sons.
My condolences to his family and friends after this tough loss.
