That's great to know she's finally popping back up again despite after what happened to her at TWC. At least she's doing some forecasting again. Great to see she isn't giving up.

If you dont mind me asking what did happen to Cheryl?

She broke the new cardinal rule at The Weather Channel: thou shalt not be a middle-aged woman.

Yes, everyone at TWC must obey that rule, or be doomed! :P

Cheryl Lemke was doing some field reporting in the heavy snow/sleet last week. I tried to upload this last week, but my wireless connection kept randomly dropping out. Since I got my router yesterday, I didn't have that problem today. It's not a long report, but I thought it was interesting to see her do some reporting outside. Not saying that she didn't, but I can't recall a time she did field reporting when she was at TWC, then again I have a fuzzy memory sometimes anyway.  :P

Before I watched this, I thought that was Cheryl on the right of the still shot at the very, very beginning with blonde hair. :P
But that's cool, thanks for sharing!

I didn't realize it until now, but Cheryl has been at WXIA-TV for almost a year now. It doesn't seem like it's been that long. This is from Sunday, June 5, 2011.

Good to see Cheryl working again. I wonder where Lisa Mozer is?

Frank Mitchell: Jetsons?

Unfortunately, she's still a fill in. She was filling in for the weekend met Chris Holcomb. This is the first time I've seen her since her field reporting in a snowstorm we had in January. I remember seeing on her bio from their site before they redesigned it that she was labeled as a meteorologist/weather producer so I guess she's working behind the scenes most of the time when she's not on air.

Well, it's good to see that she is still doing the weather from time to time, still miss her being on The Weather Channel, though. But, at least she is still in the meteorological field, even though she's a fill-in. Maybe she'll get a promotion in the future.

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to say that I enjoyed getting to chat with you and sharing weather info. Unfortunately my contract at WXIA-TV did not get renewed and so I will be leaving the station in a couple of days. But I wanted to let you know that I still plan to keep in touch using my personal e-mail and Facebook account. FYI, if you know of any broadcast jobs in weather, please drop me a note.

What a shame, I wish her the best in finding something else soon. Ironically enough, the chief meteorologist Paul Ossmann from the same station also didn't have his contract renewed. His last day was Friday, he's being replaced by some guy named Mike Francis from Little Rock. (Looks like a Jim Cantore wannabee)

Want more irony? I just recorded this a few hours ago, but I wasn't aware she was leaving. I almost didn't, but I figured I don't she her that much as it is so why not so this will be the last clip I guess.
