Sue Palka retired in March after 36 years on the air as chief meteorologist - but will continue to contribute to FOX 5 DC in the future. Sue told us that she had a wonderful summer and that a new granddaughter, Allegra Josephine, joined the family on August 9th. Sue has been spending a lot of her summer in San Diego but was happy to spend Labor Day in Gaithersburg, where she has lived for 27 years.
