It’s not often that you see an anchor leave a top 10 market, to take a job in a much smaller market.

But, WPVI (Philly) meteorologist Chris Sowers is doing just that.

After 13 years at the ABC O&O in Philly, Sowers is headed to Scripps’ (gulp) WPTV in West Palm Beach.

"A huge opportunity has presented itself and I will be joining the talented WPTV weather team in West Palm Beach, Florida in October," Sowers announced, indicating his excitement to contribute to one of the busiest weather markets in the country.
