KTRK weatherman Doug Brown retires

KTRK weatherman Doug Brown predicted his last Houston forecast today on Channel 13. The Chief has more:

Off-air Doug is the same friendly, folksy person you saw on TV. He is a good friend and a trusted member of our weather team. We will miss him.

As you probably know from watching Doug on-air, he likes climate statistics. What you probably don't know is that those statistics came from meticulous, hand-written weather records Doug kept for several decades. He could find a weather factoid in his notes faster than the rest of us could look it up on the computer.
