Matt Ritter, will be helping out the ABC 7 Amarillo KVII weather team through August 18, 2024.
"I'm honored to be able to help my sister station out for a few weeks this summer," Ritter told mikemcguff.com. "It is a delight to be able to utter the phrase 'here in Texas' again while on the clock!"
Ritter works for Sinclair Broadcast Group's The National Weather Desk, is an announcer for the company's "Weather Window" and is a freelance meteorologist for ABC7 WJLA Washington, DC.
KVII is also owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group.
The Millersville University grad worked many years as a WGAL 8 Lancaster, Pennsylvania meteorologist.
He also got a taste of Texas as weekend meteorologist for News 25 KXXV Waco, Temple, Killeen during the Ray Peters and Ann Harder era.
That Central Texas experience was so positive that Ritter still vacations in the Lone Star State and is rumored to own a few Buc-ee's t-shirts.
