## Resource

Kent Boughton, the beloved Nebraska weatherman whose calm voice guided communities through storms for decades, passed away peacefully surrounded by family after a courageous battle with cancer. Starting as a teen DJ, he became a TV weather legend in Hastings and later Kearney, earning a Hall of Fame spot in 2024 and unforgettable coverage of the 1983 Grand Island tornado. His passion for weather and deep connection to the people he served made him more than a forecaster—he was a trusted friend to thousands.
