Todd Gross

Todd Gross is a national meteorologist. He is an active on-air television and radio meteorologist at KTVX ABC4 in Salt Lake City, Utah. He can also be heard weekdays on numerous radio stations throughout Southeastern New England, and forecasts online for the Boston viewing area via his personal website.

Known best for his years as a Boston meteorologist, Gross started at WNEV-TV (the present day WHDH-TV) in 1984 as a weekend meteorologist and science reporter. In that same year, he broadened and formalized the use of weather spotters on the air and introduced the "sunburn index" (UV index) to the Boston area. In 1988, Gross was promoted to meteorologist for WNEV-TV's morning and weekday noon newscasts. He also appeared on the children's show "Ready to Go". In 1994, Gross brought weather to the Internet through webpages, such as WeatherMan.com Internet Chat and Weather-watcher networks.

In August 2002, Gross was promoted to chief meterologist at WHDH, replacing veteran Harvey Leonard who transferred over to WCVB-TV. In December 2005 he was replaced by Pete Bouchard as the 7 NEWS Chief Meteorologist.

Before his start at WNEV/WHDH-TV, Gross worked for two years as chief meteorologist for the 6 and 11 PM weekday newscasts at WNYT-TV in Albany, New York. Afterwards, he worked briefly as a meteorologist for the Satellite News Channel in Stamford, Connecticut.

Gross is known in the Boston-area for his on-air use of actual forecasting graphics, including Isobars. He also uses and works into his weathercasts astronomic terminology, such as the term "Indian Moon."
