WBNS-TV (Channel 10) announced Friday that Chief Meteorologist Jerry Martz will helm the Doppler 10 weather team beginning next month. Martz will replace Chief Meteorologist Ashlee Baracy, who departed the station on Thursday.

Martz is known around Columbus, having previously spent more than six years as a chief meterologist before switching to The Weather Company, where he assisted TV stations across the country with embracing new weather technologies. He also was a broadcast meteorologist at WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh.

A graduate from Pennsylvania State University (where he later taught), Martz holds a bachelor's degree in meteorology and is a trained Skywarn observer.

Viewers can see Martz in January, weekdays at 5 p.m., 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. and streaming on 10TV+ for the day’s Doppler 10 forecast.
