After contemplating for quite some time, I have made the decision to retire from my television career that began in 1985. I feel I have such a connection with so many of you, my fans, the viewers, and my coworkers, and more. Here is the link to my story:
TY Kansas City! Thank you to all of you who have watched me over the past 38-years. Some of you have even watched from nearly the very beginning of my career in 1985.
@MayorLucasKC
proclaimed today Gary Lezak Day! Wow! My last show is on at 6:30 tonight! Let's enjoy the moment!
I just wrote a rather personal message on my Facebook fan page. Here is the link: I have been wanting to do this for many years now. I hope you all understand! Tonight at 10 we will look at the new data.
Heaviest snow we’ve seen in years! Thunder and lightning have bee reported! Look at Sunny and Rainbow The Weather Dogs posing while big snowflakes hit their cute faces!
It is with excitement, but also bittersweetness, that I would like to inform all of you that we have decided to relocate to Colorado. Sunny, Rainbow, Andy, and I are looking forward to this new, next adventure! We will discuss on
@SportsRadio810
at 8 AM!
13 Seconds Left! The
@Chiefs
Kingdom in shock. We all think it's likely over. And, MAGIC MAHOMES throws two perfect passes in ten seconds, and Butker kicks a 49 yard FG. WHAT? Those last three minutes were CRAZY! I AM STILL IN DISBELIEF!
Kansas City and surrounding areas are about to have a very dramatic weather change. It will likely go from near 80° Tuesday afternoon to 1" of snow possible by midnight. How would you rate this on the weather dramatic scale?
30-years-ago, half my life, I was still in Oklahoma. I moved to KC in June, 1992. This birthday is the first one that is getting to me! I can’t believe I’m 60! Mother Nature gave me a thunderstorm for my birthday Eve! My great friends Bob and Max made the cake 30 years ago!
The Chiefs announce that Arrowhead will be allowed to be at full capacity this season! How do you feel about this? Our cooler fall-like weather will continue through the week. Have a great evening and I hope everyone is doing well!
Wow, The Chiefs are on Peacock Saturday night, exclusively. So, I guess I am finally purchasing Peacock, as I am in Colorado. OMG. How can a playoff game not be on a main network, not to mention the Chiefs! Wow again!
Huge hail in Shawnee, KS. A friend of mine David Caton just sent me this picture. I asked him to cut the hailstone in half. Some are near baseball size. Look at the layers in the one cut in half. It went up and down violently inside that thunderstorm several times!
HenneThingIsPossible! Chad Henne makes the perfect throw on a perfect play & execution. All 11 players were in synch! What was it like for you in that moment. Patrick Mahomes, we hope you get well soon! Think about what it was like for Henne’s 5 and 7 year old boys!!!
80 mph winds in Kansas City North. This was at The Landing at Briarcliff apartments where trees are reported down and power is out! Thank you to Bryant Blank for sharing this video. Incredible and scary!
On my dinner break, I just picked up Sushi and Sashimi at Prime Sushi. And, as I was walking to my car, this great group of people called out my name, as they were in front of The Peanut. They said they love
@41actionnews
and will be watching tonight. The EOI is a 10 now!
I was at Gorozzo's in downtown KC fo dinner Saturday night, and I had great conversation with the
@Chiefs
GM, Brett Veach. And, he and his wife listen to
@SportsRadio810
and watch
@41actionnews
. I watched the Super Bowl again last night. And, the Chiefs won again!!!!
The lights are on! Happy Holidays! We will look ahead to the
@Chiefs
weather forecast for ten days from now on our Super 10-Day Forecast right after tonight's game!
It was 20 years ago, July 1, 1999, that I debuted as Chief Meteorologist of
@41actionnews
& this is the promo we aired at the time. Hello Dolly was playing at the
@NewTheatreKC
and the cast made this "Hello Gary" version to welcome me back to TV after the 6-mo no compete clause!
@kkwhb
Kevin, you have been doing this since I met you 28 years ago. WRONG as usual. We predicted a chance of severe thunderstorms for today 100 days ago. I will post what
@GerardJebaily
wrote down on our calendar in late December for today! Another accurate
#LRC
forecast!
There is an
@Chiefs
Super Bowl storm coming into Arrowhead tonight, and it is in the form of a CHIEFS VICTORY! They are younger, faster, and the Mahomes Field Advantage is in effect. Let's get loud TONIGHT! Thank you to
@ConradMcGorkin
for making this graphic!
Looking back on one year ago, Dec. 1, 2022, I can hardly believe it's been a whole year since my last day at KSHB. Miss you, Kansas City! Your love and support mean the world. Here's to all my amazing fans! It's almost Friday Night In The Big Town!

First time, in what seems like decades, I experienced a thunderstorm while not having the stress of being at work and not being able to see it! Look at the lightning strobe light!
This is at 1 AM this morning, after I got home. I had to watch the game again!!!! Andy decided he needed to take this picture! This time, relaxed and not worried! How about those
@Chiefs
I have been holding it in? My emotions are now letting loose. Look at the Power & Light over an hour before kickoff! LET'S GO CHIEFS!!!!!! Let's WIN THE SUPER BOWL!
Meet Rainbow The Weather Dog! We named her late last night after she arrived yesterday evening. There is more to this story which we will share soon! Sunny The Weather Dog is wondering what has happened. Good news for the
@Chiefs
as the rain will taper off after 10 AM.
Breaking the plane of the goal line. Here is the evidence of Williams reaching the ball over the goal line before his foot touches out of bounds. The shadow of the ball is clearly seen crossing the goal line. I am on
@SportsRadio810
right now with your forecast!
So much criticism over weather forecasting. Please stop the madness. Anyway, our forecast has been consistent and snow is increasing across the KC metro area now. There will be these heavier bands. As I showed on the air, 2-5 inches by morning are still likely!
There is a 100% chance of snow Sunday, and now the second wave is also targeting our area for Monday. So, additional amounts are likely with that second wave. This shows the potential snowfall during the
@Chiefs
game tomorrow!
Hey KC - what would you think if this happens? The LRC predicted this series of winter storms a month ago to line up in the next two weeks. The models are now showing it. Can you imagine more than 5" of snow, or double that? Storm
#1
is Friday, then the stronger one next week.
There is no chance of rain in Tampa today! Temperatures will be in the 70s with a good chance of it being 69° at kickoff. Go
@Chiefs
and let's improve their record to 27-1 in the last 28 games and let the celebration begin by 9 PM tonight!
I am working on my last Sunday night in television. Yes, it feels a little strange! The 6 PM newscast on Thursday night will be my final one. I am getting the graphics ready for tonights shows, including this one showing the rainfall amounts from last night's storm!
35 years ago was the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. On the same day, the morning meteorologist at KWTV In Oklahoma City said a bad word, the worst one, on air and was fired. I was interning, got called in, and started my career on 1-29-85! Here was my first weather team!
It was 20 years ago today that I was hired and started at
@41actionnews
and how time flies by. So much has happened in 20 years. Happy New Year everyone, just reminiscing. I just posted the story on my facebook page: garylezak
How About That DEFENSE! How About That Last Pass to MVS! Please realize the long bomb from Mahomes was perfect! And, how about SNEEEEEED with a huge play at the goal line. SUPER BOWL!!!!!
It's a Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce sighting at the Final Four in Minneapolis watching the Texas Tech / Michigan State game. Texas Tech headed to the championship game after beating the Spartans 61-51.
The record high in KC today is 69°, and
@lnanderson
on
@41actionnews
just predicted that it may reach that record today. So, let's predict a record high, and an at
@Chiefs
victory. My prediction is 69° today and 33-24 Chiefs win the Super Bowl!
🌨️❄️ Heavy snow marching into KC! This snowfall has got me living vicariously through you all. Stay safe, it's about to get slick out there. Kids, are you excited yet? The forecast I posted this morning is still lining up. Excitement level 💯!
#KCSnow
Happy Easter from Raytown! With Aunt Karen, Uncle Allan, Andy’s dad Joe, Andy, and Manny. Rainbow and Sunny stayed home today! The E.O.I. Is a 10! Today will be our first 80 degree day since 165 days ago, October 22!
The last thing in my closet! Omg-it’s been on this hanger for nearly 30 years! I’m not a pack rat, but I have kept a few things through the years. This one survived four moves in KC! I’ve lived in Shawnee (twice), Overland Park, The Plaza, & KC North!
Happy New Year! Here is a picture from when Andy & I rang in the new year, one of a few times, in Las Vegas! This one is from 2011! Let's make 2024 the greatest year yet! From Andy, Sunny, Rainbow, and me, Happy New Year!!!!
The Kansas City Chiefs will be hosting the New England Patriots next Sunday Night at 5:45 PM. Yes, a 5:45 PM kickoff, so it will be a night game. It looks VERY COLD, and there is a storm due in a day or two before. I will keep you updated. GO
@CHIEFS
#SuperBowl
My High School buddies Neil, Joe, and Dan are on a “Hawaii Six - Oh” adventure. We are all turning 60 and Neil had this idea a year ago and here we are! Aloha!
Andy, Sunny, Rainbow, & I wish you a Happy Holiday Season! It’s a Wonderful Life is on in a couple minutes. It’s one of my top five favorites of all time!
Good news: I just awoke from Anesthesia and my colonoscopy was longer than expected because had Lezak plumbing. The Dr. says it went well and I don’t have cancer! I am a bit loopy, and I see snow is heading our way. I feel we got the forecast accurately predicted!
Should we adopt this dog? It’s a lab mix 10 week old female! These thunderstorms will move past us by this evening leaving nice weather for later today for all the activities. I’m on my way into
@41actionnews
and I’ll update you later.
#41StormTracker
Help! I can’t believe what I may be about to experience! There is a chance of a foot of snow right near me; so I took this before picture to compare how it looks before the game.I love Trying to keep my cool - you know how much I adore snow!❄️🏈

What a thrilling night.
@SportingKC
needed a victory tonight, & the got it as they beat the Chicago Fire 1-0. They almost scored three other times. A great night, a great crowd, and I was honored to lead the "I Believe That We Will Win" chant in the Cauldron with the great fans
