Carl Parker Now Dr. Forbes' Right Hand Man
« on: May 05, 2011, 12:38:07 PM »
Carl Park made an interesting announcement today via Facebook:

Quote
A bit of news- I'll be off Day Planner through severe season, specializing in severe weather and working as backup and support for Dr. Greg Forbes. Convective meteorology has long been my passion- I welcome the opportunity and will do my best to keep our viewers safe this season!

I think this is a direct result of his awesome performance during the horrific tornado outbreak last week. Congrats to Carl, and I certainly look forward to seeing him alongside Forbes!

On a side note - what does this mean for Cantore? Will we see Cantore, Parker, and Forbes all together?

Interesting move.  I am looking forward to see Carl and Dr. Forbes work together.  Like Tyler, I thought they did fantastic during the tornado outbreak a couple weeks ago.  You bring up a great point with Cantore; it'll be interesting to see what happens.  Maybe they will send Cantore out to cover those severe weather events instead of having him in studio.

Just what I've wanted. Jim is a great met, but Carl beats him at in-studio performance. Jim is better in the field.

Does this mean we won't see Carl Parker as an OCM?

Did you read that quote I posted? He will no longer be on Day Planner during severe season. He'll only be on when Forbes is on.

This could also mean that in the event that Dr. Forbes isn't available (day off, vacation), Carl would sub for him and Jim (or someone else if Jim is in the field) would join him.

Kudos to Carl for the news.

Carl was on YWT this morning covering severe weather. I think that might be the earliest I've ever seen Carl on.

Carl has done Weekend View quite a number of times since the 2008 HD relaunch.
