Chris Tomer has joined Columbus, Ohio CBS affiliate WBNS as Chief Meteorologist, beginning February 9.
Tomer joins the 10TV Weather Impact team with Meredith Garofalo, Aaron White, and Michael Behrens. He will anchor weather coverage on 10TV’s 4, 5, 6, and 11 p.m. newscasts, and appear throughout the day and evening on 10TV+. He also will lead the daily 2 p.m. 10 Weather Impact live streaming program, offering real-time analysis of current conditions, the evening commute outlook and notable weather phenomena occurring across Central Ohio.
“Weather drives the daily decisions of our viewers, and we’re committed to investing in the growth of our team and strength of our coverage,” said Steve Hyvonen, News Director at WBNS. “Chris’s forecasting expertise, local roots and deep understanding of our community and neighbors, make him an exceptional addition to the 10TV weather team.”
Tomer brings more than two decades of broadcast meteorology experience and a strong leadership background to his new role. Most recently, he served as a meteorologist at KMGH-TV in Denver, following a national forecasting role at WeatherNation TV. Earlier in his career, Tomer spent nearly 20 years as a meteorologist at KDVR/KWGN-TV in Denver, served as chief meteorologist at KJCT-TV in Grand Junction, Colorado, and subsequently worked at Sinclair Broadcast Group in Baltimore.
“I’m honored to return home to Central Ohio and to serve as Chief Meteorologist at 10TV,” Tomer said. “Weather in our region can change fast. My goal is to help viewers understand what’s happening now, what’s coming next, and how it could impact their day.”
