Former WTVT meteorologist Andy Johnson passed away yesterday. Johnson was with WTVT for 34 years, retiring in 2013 to pursue forensic meteorology consulting. I grew up watching Andy on FOX13 and had the privilege of meeting him at a recent station reunion. A truly respected individual in his craft. Keep Andy’s husband Bryan and family and in your prayers. https://t.co/rkmV6kIxNT
