Getting Out of the Business

after 20 years of giving viewers the weather, longtime KFSM Chief Meteorologist Garrett Lewis says that he is looking to leave the business.

“Like many of you, 2020 gave me plenty of time to pause and reflect on the direction of life and consider what the next 20-years would look like,” Lewis said in his message to viewers.

He said he took a year to arrive at his decision to leave TV news and it is going to take him a while to walk away.

Although Lewis announced that he is leaving, he won’t be do so until late July.

“For 20-years, Garrett Lewis has been a valuable member of our 5NEWS team.  His passionate coverage of our extreme weather and commitment to serving our communities have been exemplary. Over the coming months, we will join our viewers in celebrating Garrett’s incredible career at 5NEWS.  All of us at 5NEWS are thankful for his service, and we wish him and his family only the best as he moves on to his next adventure--Sleeves Up!” said KFSM General Manager Van Comer.
