Katie Horner is officially on the way out the door at KCTV5

We heard the rumors back in May, but today it’s official: chief meteorologist Katie Horner is leaving KCTV Channel 5.

The TV station issued a news release today that gave no firm end date for Horner’s KCTV5 career, only saying that she’d be leaving “sometime later in the year.”

KCTV5 general manager Bobby Totsch said in a statement that Horner wanted more time to spend with her daughters.
