Cecily Tynan Retires After 31 Years at 6ABC

Her on-air farewell leaves the station without a named chief meteorologist, prompting immediate succession planning.

Overview

  • Tynan signed off with a final Action News weather report on Monday, Aug. 31, bringing to a close roughly 31 years at 6ABC.
  • In her goodbye she thanked viewers and colleagues and recalled major coverage from the Blizzard of 1996 to Superstorm Sandy while saying she will remember the fun more than the storms.
  • Tynan joined 6ABC in 1995 from KTNV in Las Vegas and was promoted to chief meteorologist in 2009, a role she held through her final broadcast.
  • She told reporters she has no immediate work plans and intends to split time between her Delaware County home and a Florida property, and she declined a final parade hosting invitation to focus on family.
  • 6ABC has not named a replacement for the 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. chief meteorologist, making long‑time staffers such as Karen Rogers and Adam Joseph early logical candidates and adding to broader veteran turnover in the Philadelphia TV market.
