Scott Fisher, the FOX 7 Austin KTBC chief meteorologist, took to social media to let us know where he has been since going missing in 2026 and to thank viewers for their support.
While I was on my blog break, I received inquiries from Austin TV viewers about Fisher's whereabouts. One viewer told me that he had not seen Fisher since around February.
Unfortunately, he has been missing from the Central Texas airwaves after having a pancreatectomy procedure, which means part of his pancreas was cut out.
Fisher says he is tired and his stomach constantly hurts. He can only eat white toast and white rice.
Pancreatectomies SUCK!

Here is a transcription of what Fisher said on social:
"I sure hope you remember me. It's chief meteorologist Scott Fischer from right here in Austin, Texas at Fox 7. Just when everything seemed to be going great. It wasn't. I've been out of action for a little while after undergoing something called a pancreatectomy. Trust me, I had never heard that word until recently. Basically, it's where they gut you right about here, and they root around. And after a while they find your pancreas and they cut part of it out. Let me tell you, the recovery has been rough. I'm tired all the time. My stomach hurts pretty much all day, every day. And right now all I eat is white toast and white rice. I do have some great doctors. I'm getting a little stronger every day and I'm working my way back. I miss the TV station and I hope to see you soon. Back at Fox 7 forecasting the weather once again. Until then, thank you for the support and I'll see you soon, I promise."
