I grew up watching Harry Wappler on Kiro 7. For years he told me when to bring my umbrella, get my sunglasses, or when to layer up. There was something special about how he could speak to thousands of people and tell you a wind storm was coming yet he was fun about it. This was before all the high tech scrolling green screens etc. Weather is weather and we take for granted those that put in the extra effort to make something so broad like the weather seem so personal. arry Wappler some how managed to do that every time he was on the air. I am sadden to hear that he recently suffered a heart attack and past away a few days ago. So today's sway goes out to Mr. Harry Wappler; a weatherman for the Seattlites. May you have clear skies and calm breezes - Rest in Peace.
