Cody Matz
Cody Matz was born and raised a Minnesotan. Originally from Eagan, he spent his early years becoming a Minnesota sports fan and relishing in all things snow, including the famous Halloween Blizzard.
He moved away as a teenager to Arizona where he spent high school and the first couple years of college at Arizona State before transferring to Mississippi State to get his broadcast meteorology degree.
Cody’s first job was in Sioux Falls, South Dakota as the morning meteorologist, but then became the chief meteorologist for over 4 years.
In June of 2013 though, he finally got a chance to move back to his hometown and join the team at FOX 9 as the weekend morning meteorologist. Now you can see him most weekdays at 11 a.m., Saturday mornings, and anytime anyone on the weather team needs a day off.
Cody loves all things food, is an avid Crossfitter, and hangs out with his golden retriever named Copper.
The latest from Cody Matz

It’s not your imagination, spring in Minnesota is getting colder while the rest of the year warms
We all know that the weather in Minnesota can be finicky. From 80° one second, to a foot of snow the next. While differences from year to year are totally normal (we call it year to year variability), we can begin to see more specific trends over time. Our trend in Minnesota is warmer, but with one glaring exception.
Snow, ice cover peak over weekend as slow melt into spring begins
With another coating of snow on Sunday and the 17th consecutive day with temperatures below freezing, we have certainly maintained a pretty healthy snow pack in many areas from January through much of February.

Another wicked cold start to the day across the area with Monday morning lows in the 20s and 30s below zero for most of the area. The few exceptions were the core of the Twin Cities metro and parts of the Mississippi River Valley.
