Apparently...a former OCM has stayed in Atlanta

Cheryl Lemke apparently filled in for the weekend morning meteorologist on WXIA 11 Alive this morning, according to this poster:

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.

Agreed. I was just thinking not too long ago about about Cheryl Lemke. So glad she finally got a job now at the same area

Wow, I can't believe it she applies at the one Atlanta news network I never watch and it's not because they are a NBC network, I just don't like their format. I'll have to try to catch her on air. Congrats to her nonetheless, I know it must to have been hard for her the past 2 years. I might start watching just to see her again.

EDIT: Here's a link to her bio on WXIA-TV (11Alive) website, picture is N/A

You're welcome Ana, here's another from this evening during the severe weather we had that's a lot shorter than this one. It also includes the news closing.

Good for her!  She was certainly one of my very favorite "classic OCMs" from my earliest days watching TWC, and her absence is very obvious even today.

Thank you so much for posting that. I am glad that Cheryl Lemke is still in the meterological profession, though I wish she was still at TWC.

She is doing a great job there. I only saw her a few times on TWC, wish she was still there(who wouldn't?!?!).

I captured another video of Cheryl this morning using the "W.I.Z" (still think this thing is kinda dumb), I haven't seen her since she started on this network back in July. I guess that's the drawback to being a "fill-in".

She is more worthy than a mere fill-in spot.

So very true.

That's why I wished she could have worked at our ABC affiliate instead, I bet they would have gotten her a permanent spot somewhere on the weekends or weekday afternoons. Before their current weekend met Brad Nitz joined them a few years ago, 2 of the 3 veteran mets alternated the different shifts on the weekend. Since that network is expanding to a 3 hour newscast (taking the 4pm hour of Oprah's timeslot come May next year), It would be good if Cheryl was at that network to be on during the new 4pm newscast, but that's just wishful thinking on my end.
