Gray Television has announced that one of their talent had died.

LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - She was a bright spot in our weekend mornings, arguably the prettiest on our First Alert Forecast team.

Kelly Plasker had a passion for sharing the forecast and keeping us safe... in more ways than just the weather.

Now, our KCBD family is heartbroken over the loss of Kelly Plasker who died suddenly on August 30th.

For 3 years, Kelly was that spunky weather girl every Saturday and Sunday morning on Newschannel 11.

What you couldn’t see on TV was a broken heart. I remember one day two years ago when she and I sat and talked in the studio and she told me her world would never be the same. She said, “He was 19 years old, 2 weeks way from turning 20.” Kelly was referring to her son, Thomas, who took his life in February of 2018.
