CBS4 - WHBF Quad Cities, IL-IA News Weather SportsAndy McCray

Andy McCray joined the CBS4 News team as chief meteorologist in October of 2002.  Andy moved to the Quad Cities from nearby Rockford, IL where he spent two years at WREX-TV.  He began his career more than 10 years ago in Northern Wisconsin at WJFW-TV. 

Andy is a proud graduate of the Ohio State University and has a Bachelors of Science degree in meteorology and completed two internships at television stations in Columbus, OH. He is a  member of the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and the National Weather Association (NWA.)  In 2004, Andy was awarded the coveted National Weather Association TV Seal of Approval.   

Andy's interest in weather really kicked off when he was in 3rd grade.  His family won a holiday decorating contest sponsored by an area television station.  As part of the prize, the station's weather anchor paid a visit to the McCray household and did a live broadcast from the front yard!

When Andy isn't in the office, he might be out at one of our local schools talking to students about weather and the television business, helping to shape our next generation of meteorologist.  In fact, Andy even taught Intro to Meteorology for 5 years at Black Hawk College in Moline! 

You can also find him outside enjoying the many golf courses the QCA has to offer or even going for a nice walk with his wife and dog named Scooter!
