Jack Wu, a familiar face delivering weather forecasts, is leaving Springfield, Massachusetts, to embark on a new chapter in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Prior to his time with the Springfield NBC affiliate, Wu honed his skills as a weather anchor and sustainability reporter at Arizona PBS. He began his work in Springfield in 2023.

“Two years gone by like that. My time at 22News has come to a close. I could not be more grateful for my time in Western Massachusetts,” he wrote on social media. “While this chapter is over, I can’t wait to share what’s coming next!”

“It all started two years ago. June 29th was my first time doing the 10 p.m. newscast. A lot has changed over the past two years,but it’s been a very memorable experience. And I can’t thank everyone enough who’s worked here,from the anchors to the producers,photographers,and behind-the-scenes staff in production as well. But most of all, the viewers, everyone in the community really made me feel so welcome,” Jack Wu said during his final broadcast.
