Chief Meteorologist Tim Deegan to Retire from First Coast News


First Coast News chief meteorologist Tim Deegan has announced he will retire after 42 years.

His last day on-air will be May 30, 2025.

Deegan joined First Coast News in 1982 as a meteorologist. Before that, he worked at KRIS in Corpus Christi, Texas and KBTX in Bryan, Texas.

“For generations, Tim has been a trusted voice for First Coast families, known for his precision in forecasting major storms as well as daily weather,” said First Coast News president and general manager, Tim Thomas. “I’m grateful for Tim’s many years of dedicated service to our station. His expertise and experience will be invaluable in helping to select the next Chief Meteorologist, ensuring First Coast News continues delivering the most accurate forecasts.” 

“I have always taken my forecasting seriously,” said Deegan. “Friends have joked that sometimes I take it ‘too seriously,’ but weather forecasts often play a big role in critical decisions. My forecasts help our viewers schedule everything from weddings to games to marathons. Every forecast, every day, they all matter to me.”
