WFSB Chief Meteorologist Bruce DePrest is celebrating 40 years with channel 3.
When he started, the weather was a segment of the evening news that fell between the news itself and the sports. Now it is often the lead story and in some cases runs every ten minutes along with the traffic. You might argue that the 6 o’clock news is actually the weather with some news thrown in for good measure.
