Gary Lezak - Kansas City's Trusted Weather Voice

Elwin Kunze 02 Jul 2025

There's a familiar face, a well-known personality from Kansas City's weather scene, who's been making some big life changes, and that, is Gary Lezak. He's a name many people in the area have come to rely on for their daily forecast, someone who has, in a way, become a part of the morning routine for so many families. His recent news, about moving away, has certainly sparked a lot of conversation and, too it's almost, a bit of a sentimental moment for folks who've watched him for years.

You see, Gary Lezak, the person many have counted on to tell them whether to grab an umbrella or enjoy the sunshine, has made a significant shift, packing up his life in Kansas City and heading to a new home in Colorado. This news, actually, brought with it a mix of feelings for him, as he's shared, a sense of thrill for what's ahead, yet also a touch of sadness about leaving a place he's known so well. He even planned to talk about this big step on WHB 810, just to keep everyone in the loop, you know?

But the story doesn't quite end there, which is interesting, because Gary, who's been a fixture for so long, has actually made a temporary comeback to our screens. He's stepping in to help out at KSHB 41 while another meteorologist, Lindsey Anderson, is away on maternity leave. So, in some respects, Kansas City still gets to wake up with his weather insights, and maybe, just maybe, catch a glimpse of his famous weather companions, Sunny and Rainbow, which is kind of a nice surprise for everyone.
