KWQC-TV6 revealed this morning on Quad Cities Today that current weekend meteorologist Kevin Phelps will replace Greg Dutra as the station's weekday morning meteorologist.
Greg Dutra made the announcement during his weathercast saying, "When I went to management and told them hey I have this job offer in Denver....obviously we're going to have to find a replacement. This was my personal recommendation."
Phelps has been weekend meteorologist at TV6 since February 2011. He will begin his new role as Quad Cities Today meteorologist December 1st.
"Kevin's hard work and experience made him a natural to replace Greg Dutra. His knowledge forecasting in the Quad Cities and his great relationship with David and Morgan will let him continue the great tradition Quad Cities Today has established," said KWQC-TV6 News Director Rich Kurz. "Losing Greg is tough - and we wish him well - but I'm confident our viewers will be in great hands with Kevin."
Greg Dutra's last day on air will be November 28th. He was offered and accepted what he calls a "dream job" in Denver, CO at KDVR/KWGN.
