Weatherman Follows His Anchor Wife out of the Business
KOLN (Lincoln, NB) Weatherman Rusty Dawkins no longer will deliver weather forecasts for Gray Television.
The meteorologist announced Sunday on Twitter he accepted a position as social media manager with the Arbor Day Foundation. He started yesterday at the new job.
"I do still love weather, and I know you guys love heaving weather information, so I still need to figure some things out," Dawkins said in a YouTube video he posted Sunday to Twitter. "I still want to provide everybody with weather information. If there's going to be a big blizzard, a tornado outbreak or something big like that, I'll make sure everybody knows about it just because I love weather so much -- and day-to-day stuff, too."
He is married to former KOLN anchor Melanie Bloom. She left the station in 2015 and works in Lincoln as a real estate agent.
