I can't believe I didn't think to post this back at the time it happened, but for anyone wondering about Heather's whereabouts, she did make an appearance doing the weather on my local NBC affiliate, WXIA-TV (11Alive) last month. She filled in for Samantha Mohr (another former TWC OCM).
I hate I didn't get a video clip, I think I was just shocked to see her again after all these years! Maybe she'll end up filling in for Sam again soon and I'll be lucky enough to capture a clip.
She did post this to her FB the day she filled in.
