Found this report below on Harold Taft, the meteorologist credited with launching the country’s first regular television weather segment on Halloween of 1949 on what was then WBAP-TV (now KXAS-TV) in Dallas-Fort Worth. He also did the weather on the overnight trucking show on WBAP-AM, which was heard across the country. Taft’s final television weathercast was in August 1991. He died from cancer a month later at age 69.
