“Q13 FOX” KCPQ-TV News Director Erik Breon announced to staff in a memo today that 23 year Chief Weather Anchor Walter Kelley is leaving the FOX O/O station to be closer to family in Phoenix AZ. The memo noted: “Walter has been with “Q13” since 1997 helping Western Washington survive many historic weather events.” His last day on air will be June 25. The station has posted the position.

You are the reason we watch Q13 every night, going to miss you
Thanks for being yourself Walter, I get the biggest kick watching your honest facial expressions as you watch the news with us as it unfolds. Your a one of kind make the weather feel like it’s part of us instead of it just being out there. Thanks for your years of being our go to Weatherman.
Walter, you will be a success wherever you are. I am excited for your move as we will be moving near Phoenix in November so I will still have the opportunity to follow your weather forecast and adventures for many years to come. 🤗 Good luck!
Best of luck Walter! I will miss you! Arizona is lucky to have you!
Good luck Walter,
We have a place down there too.
They need someone who's not using the word "uh" all the time. Watching the news down there is like watching an apprenticeship news cast. It's actually funny!
You'll do great down there....
PS... might want to trade in those long sleeves for short sleeves and loose the jacket.
Folks are very casual down there.
I loved watching Walter and how excited he got when weather was fun...his cheeks would get all pink and eyes would light up! You'll be missed! Carole
