## Resource

Kent Boughton, beloved chief forecaster for News Channel Nebraska and a pillar of local weather reporting, passed away after a courageous battle with stage four cancer. Known for his warm voice and decades of service — including a Hall of Fame induction this year — Kent began his broadcasting journey at just 15 and returned to the airwaves in 1999, even resuming full-time work this year. His public journey through illness, shared via social media, touched hearts across the state. A man who prioritized family yet never stopped informing Nebraskans about the weather, Kent’s legacy lives on in the communities he served.
