Back on June 30th, FTVLive told you that Gray’s KVLY (Fargo) is looking for a new Chief Meteorologist to replace current Chief Met Hutch Johnson.

We wrote, “Here’s where it gets a bit awkward. Johnson is still at the station and word is he had no plans on leaving.”

Well, we’re sad to report that Hutch is getting the heave-ho and will be gone by the end of the week.

On the station’s website, they write, “After 16 years at Valley News Live, Chief Meteorologist Hutch Johnson is saying his goodbye to the station. Johnson has decided to move on and explore other opportunities.”

Boy, this can be a cruel business.
