Maine Television Meteorologist Missing Since Saturday

PORTLAND, Maine — A popular television meteorologist in Maine’s largest city is missing.

The Portland Press Herald reports that Tom Johnston from WCSH-TV was reported missing Monday after he failed to return from a weekend event at the Sunday River ski resort.

Old Orchard Beach Police Detective Sgt. David Hemingway said Johnston is considered a missing person, but there’s been no indication that he’s in danger. Johnston’s last social media postings were made on Saturday, when a storm produced heavy snow in parts of Maine.

Brian Cliffe, general manager of WCSH, declined to comment Thursday, telling the newspaper that the situation is a "personal matter."
