Post by: alex979 on January 09, 2016, 01:20:44 PM
Kait Parker has announced that this is her final weekend with The Weather Channel.

She's engaged to TWC hurricane expert Michael Lowry, and it doesn't seem like he's leaving the network. It kind of sounds like she's moving on to something different, possibly outside of TV. Best of luck to her.

I wonder who will replace her on AMHQ weekend. I'm really hoping they hire Kelly Cass back full-time... Honestly, for the past several months, it seems like she has been on that show filling in for either Reynolds or Kait almost every week.

She was one of my favorites and I'll definitely miss her on AMHQ Weekend and sometimes on 9am ET WCL. I wish her the best in her future endeavors! I did not know she was engaged to Michael Lowry.

Meanwhile, I do hope TWC will re-hire Kelly Cass to replace her

I just saw this today and was shocked! I'd like to know if she chose to leave or was let go. If she was let go it surprises me they'd fire someone on one of their flagship programs. TWC needs to be HIRING mets, not FIRING them if they are really going to expand their hours of live weather! I do agree with those above; Kelly Cass needs to be hired back full time and she's practically been on the show every week anyway.
