“We know you don’t like it when we “disappear” so that’s why we’re giving you this heads up. My last day will be March 23, so I’m going to help get you through the winter,” Sue said during the initial announcement of her retirement.
Fox 5 has started its “Salute to Sue Palka” tribute.
The legendary Sue Palka has announced that she will be retiring from her weather duties at Fox 5, where she has been for 36.5 years.
Fox 5’s Chief Meteorologist began her career in Richmond in 1983 before being hired by Fox 5 in 1985– and place she has remained for over three and a half decades.
Fox 5 is the first of the major local networks to release a winter outlook and it may be a little disappointing for snow lovers.
Another “La Niña” is expected (like last year), which means the jet stream and severe weather are likely to be farther north, while weather is the south is warmer than usual. We usually have below average snowfall and above average temperatures during La Niña winters.
