Popular Meteorologist Announces Departure From CT Station

Scott Gagliardi, who was a meteorologist at WFSB-TV, announced over the weekend that he has left the station for a new job.

He just didn't announce where he's headed.

"Just like the leaves, sometimes it’s time to embrace the change, and trust what’s next," Gagliardi wrote on Facebook.

"I’m incredibly grateful for every forecast, every sunrise show, every storm tracked, and every viewer who tuned in along the way!

"But as the colors change, so does my path. I’m excited to share that I’ll be joining a new station soon. Change isn’t always easy, but it’s how we grow, and sometimes, it’s exactly what the forecast calls for."

Gagliardi, a Connecticut native who had been working in Florida before joining Channel 3 last year, was a weekend meteorologist and a weekday reporter at WFSB.

He graduated from Western Connecticut State University with a B.S. in Meteorology, and dreamed of forecasting weather in his home state, a goal he achieved. Before WFSB, Gagliardi was at WCJB, TV20 News in Gainesville, Florida.

Support for Gagliardi and his next move has poured in on Facebook from fans.

"Scott, wherever you go, I wish you the very best!!!" one fan wrote. "Just another chapter in your life, do well!!!! Another adventure for your taking!"

"Best wishes on your next chapter!!!" she wrote. "I’m so proud of you and very happy for you!!"

Gagliardi was humbled by the well-wishes.

"I’m so thankful, and honestly humbled, by the love and support you’ve all shown in the recent post about my next career move," he wrote. "Every like, comment, and message truly means the world!"
