After more than 20 years of forecasting storms, sunshine, and everything in between, chief meteorologist Rick Reichmuth is officially saying goodbye to the network.<\/p>\n<p>A farewell on FOX &#038; Friends<\/p>\n<p>Rick made the announcement during FOX &#038; Friends on Sunday, where producers rolled a highlight reel of his best on-air moments before he addressed viewers directly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was my childhood dream,\u201d Rick shared. \u201cI was in banking until I was 30, and this became my second career. I\u2019ve done this, and I\u2019ve loved it. But now I\u2019ve started a business, and I have responsibilities with it that matter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That business, Weatherman, specializes in umbrellas, ponchos, backpacks, and other weather-ready essentials. Since launching, it\u2019s already donated more than $500,000 to Folds of Honor, a charity helping military families.<\/p>\n<p>A beloved Fox News figure<\/p>\n<p>Rick joined Fox News in 2004 after time at CNN and Weather Services International. Over the years, he became one of the most trusted names in weather, known for his calm, clear delivery and trademark line: \u201cLet\u2019s take a look at the weather map.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also played a key role in launching the Fox Weather channel, expanding the network\u2019s digital weather coverage. His professionalism earned him respect not just from viewers, but from colleagues across Fox News.<\/p>\n<p>Tributes from colleagues and fans<\/p>\n<p>The news quickly spread across social media, where Rick\u2019s Fox family, and his fans, poured out tributes.<\/p>\n<p>His dear colleague, meteorologist Janice Dean posted a touching message:<br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s Rick Reichmuth\u2019s last day on Fox. I\u2019m sad I won\u2019t see him at work, but I know he\u2019ll be in my life forever. He\u2019s got some amazing things planned including his #weathermanumbrella business. I\u2019m so grateful for his friendship, advice and encouragement. I love you, Rick!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s the end of an era at Fox News.
