Accuweather Meteorologist Joe Bastardi Resigns

After 32 years, Long Range and Expert Meteorologist Joe Bastardi has resigned from Accuweather, according to theweatherspace.com.

Jesse Ferrell of Accuweather.com officially announced the rumor as true, leaking it to a known weather forum.

A call into Accuweather to confirm this was met with a hostile person on the other end that declined to comment on why Bastardi left, ending up in a hang up.

"I don't think we've issued an official release, but what I posted on his facebook page serves as truth", Ferrell said.

Bastardi was known for his long range forecasting and humor.

Paul Pastelok is now leader of AccuWeather's Long-Range Forecasting team and Henry Margusity is taking an expanded role with the Pro site.

The hit may come to a stab with Accuweather Inc. as many people viewed the site because of what Bastardi brought to them.

A posting on the Joe Bastardi Facebook fan page says he was not fired, and no he did not leave because of his views on Climate Change.
