A legendary member of the WINK News team has announced his retirement. After 29 years, Chief Meteorologist Jim Farrell will leave WINK next month.
Jim started at WINK News in 1992 and built a reputation of reliable weather forecasting that is second to none.
Jim’s straightforward just-the-facts approach helped calm our Southwest Florida community during many natural disasters.
Perhaps none as significant as Hurricane Charley’s infamous turn.
While others focused on a Tampa Bay landfall, Jim noticed a wobble and told Southwest Florida to get ready. No doubt saving lives.
