WP:BLP of a television meteorologist, not
properly referenced as passing our notability criteria for meteorologists. The stated notability claim here, various awards for his work, is not referenced at all, while instead the few actual references in the article are supporting personal life trivia like the name and career of his ex-wife, his subsequent engagement and remarriage to his second wife, and a short-term health leave that he took ten years ago -- but even that is referenced to sources like his own employer or unreliable sources (blogs, industry trade newsletters) that aren't support for notability at all.
And on a search for better sources, I found absolutely nothing in ProQuest to support notability in his 1980s Canadian career before joining KTLA, and on a Google search I get (a) sources published by KTLA, (b) glancing namechecks of his existence in sources that aren't about him, and (c) one article in an independent source about his sick leave, which still isn't enough coverage to get him over the bar all by itself.
So I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody with better access to archived American media coverage than I've got can salvage it with older sourcing that may not have Googled well, but nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have significantly more and better sourcing than this.
