WKYC has announced Matt Standridge will join the 3News Weather Team beginning in September.

Most recently at our TEGNA sister station, KFSM-TV/Fort Smith/Fayetteville, Arkansas, Matt is currently the weekend morning meteorologist and host of "Arkansas Adventures" where he showcases exciting scenic life in the great outdoors.

WKYC Director of Content Adam Miller says Matt will become the station's weekend evening meteorologist for "3News: What Matters Most" at 6p and "3News: What's Next" at 11p joining Lynna Lai, Andrew Horansky and Sports Anchor Nick Camino.

Born in Oklahoma, Matt eventually moved to upstate NY where he fell in love with a concept called "Lake Effect Snow." He graduated from Valparaiso University with a Bachelor of Science in Meteorology with a minor in Digital Media.

Matt's career even took him to North Dakota where he held a Radar Meteorologist position that involved directing air traffic control. A Certified Broadcast Meteorologist (CBM), Matt brings his forecasting skills, creativity & passion to Cleveland just a week after this wedding.. Talk about life changes!

Matt is very active on social media and has over 200,000 following him and millions "liking" his content on TikTok. Be sure to check him out @weathermanmatt.
