In April 2011, Hohmann warned of the dangerous front heading toward the region, which became North Carolina's worst tornado disaster in history. He has covered many of the region's biggest weather events, including the Snowstorm of 2000, The Ice Storm of 2002, and hurricanes Fran, Floyd and Florence. And I've been so fortunate to work with and learn from so many talented people along the way, including Larry Stogner." "To be able to move from the weekend weather to the morning show and then to evenings has been a dream come true. "After nearly 30 years at ABC 11, it's hard to put into words how full my heart is," Hohmann said. We wish Chris a happy and healthy retirement." Our viewers and all of us at ABC11 will miss him very much. Chris is a skilled forecaster, a wonderful storyteller, and an even better person. He ushered in the modern era of forecasting weather and tracking storms with advanced weather models and the most powerful Doppler Radar. "Chris was one of the very first to earn advanced accreditation from the American Meteorological Society. "In an area known for its fast-changing weather conditions, Chris has always been the calm, friendly presence in the middle of the storm," Elmore said. President and general manager Rob Elmore announced on Thursday that Hohmann's last day would be Friday, May 28. Hohmann joined ABC11 in 1991 as a meteorologist and became chief in 2007. With a combined incredible 47 years at the station, Chief Meteorologist Chris Hohmann and Anchor Tisha Powell will depart this summer. Two longtime members of the ABC11 family are retiring this year.
