Pat Shingleton agrees, and it’s one of the reasons why, after more than 40 years of forecasting the weather in Baton Rouge, he’s decided to retire from daily appearances on television. Pat delivered his final weather report during evening newscasts on Channel 2 Friday (Jan. 29). Pat said he’s closing the umbrella, but really, he’s just holding a different one, one that will include his growing family and his one-year-old grandchild. It’s nothing new – Pat’s lived the fatherly role with his own family and has mentored countless colleagues he's treated as his own family while stewarding the WBRZ weather team and helping viewers navigate some of the scariest weather events of the last four decades.
