Stepping Down in Bean Town

WCVB (Boston) Chief Meteorologist Harvey Leonard has been giving the weather to New England viewers for five decades.

He has spent the last 20 years at WCVB. Before that, he was at WHDH from 1977 until 2002.

WCVB announced that Leonard would transition to the position of Chief Meteorologist Emeritus in the Fall, where he will contribute to severe weather and climate coverage.

“After five wonderful decades doing a job that I love, and after having received so many distinguished honors from dear colleagues and professional organizations, I’ve decided it’s time to step back from my day-to-day role at WCVB and transition to contributing in a new way,” Leonard said in his retirement announcement.

Leonard’s last weeknight appearance is scheduled for May 25, which just so happens to be the last day of the May book.

Funny how that works out.

As far as we can tell. Leonard never posted a dancing video on his social media.
