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
Rainfall totals from our Independence Day
Rain interrupted a large area of Minnesota for the Fourth of July. Most of the Metro had steady rain through the afternoon with the break from the wet weather occurring just in time for some evening grilling and firework displays.
MN weather: June temperatures below average — first month in more than a year
The month of June in the Twin Cities finished all of 0.2 degrees below the 30-year climate average temperature. But that is just enough to make it the first month to come in below average in the Twin Cities since April of last year — 14 months ago.
First time the Twin Cities has not experienced 90 degrees before July in a decade
Our summer so far has been a little on the cool side. The wet weather has led to soggy backyards, flooding, and frequent cooler days. Although we have had a few hot and muggy days, we are yet to hit 90 degrees.
Minnesota weather: The wet weather continues
The heavy rain along with the frequency of our recent rain has been quite the talk around the water cooler. Especially in comparison to the last few summers, which in general, have been drier. Our forecast to finish out this week will lead to some areas picking up another 1 to 3 inches of new rainfall with locally higher amounts up to 3 to 5 inches plus.
700 feet separates a dusting and a foot of snow in southeast Minnesota
Widespread snow decorated parts of far southeast Minnesota and much of Wisconsin on Tuesday night and early Wednesday, leading to a foot of fresh snow in some cases. But not all spots were created equal. Elevation ended up playing a huge factor in just how much stuck.
Warmest winter on record for Twin Cities, much of Minnesota
Our winter months are now in the rearview mirror, which means the coldest air of the year should be behind us. But it wasn't all that cold as many of us longtime Minnesotans know. We finished with an average temperature of nearly 30 degrees, making it the warmest winter months on record in the Twin Cities.
Several warm records could break this week in Minnesota
Our winter months are passing into the rearview mirror this week, but aren't ending without a bang.
MN weather: Record warm December-January, but will our warmth last the rest of winter?
We know it's been the warmest on record to this point, with an exclamation point right at the end as the Twin Cities experiences its third-warmest January day on record.
First snow: It snowed in Minnesota on Friday
The first snow of the season officially arrived in Minnesota on Friday.
Minnesota weather: The heat is coming back, but is far from locked in
After a pleasant, although smoky, couple of days, temperatures will quickly soar starting this weekend and potentially extending through much of next week. But this is unlike many of our heat waves here in Minnesota as we may enter a rarely seen setup.
