As I first blogged on Monday of this week, KXAN 36 chief meteorologist David Yeomans' last day on Austin TV is today as he leaves for parts unannounced at this point.
So, to honor the longtime Austinite (even before KXAN), Mayor Kirk Watson declared February 28, 2024, as "David Yeomans Day" in the City of Austin.
"Donning his iconic pocket squares and white accent collars, David Yeomans has always jumped into action to guide Austinites through whatever unpredictable event Texas weather has thrown at us," the proclamation read. "The Mayor of Austin is arguably a chicken and refuses to make a determination as to whether David Yeomans or Jim Spencer is at the top of the leaderboard for all-time correct weather predictions."
Speaking of Jim Spencer, he is coming out of retirement for weather duty until Yeomans' replacement is named.
