Joel Bartlett, the former longtime meteorologist for Bay Area television stations KPIX and KGO-TV for more than three decades, died late Thursday evening at his ranch in Sonoma County. He was 81 when he died, surrounded by family and friends and all of the animals he loved.
Bartlett was a familiar face to millions of Bay Area television viewers, appearing on KPIX from 1974 to 1989. That year, he left the station to join KGO-TV, where he remained until he retired, at age 65, in 2006.

On Wednesday, the day before Bartlett died, San Francisco Mayor London Breed proclaimed the day “Joel Bartlett Day,” honoring him with an official city proclamation highlighting his career achievements and involvement in the Bay Area community.
