I can't believe he is leaving! :( One thing, he's the only link to the late John Hope.  :no:

Steve was just amazing. I tuned in a lot more in the summer just for his tropical updates. Might give it up if this new guy isnt that great

Yet another one bites the dust. :(  Well it was great having Dr. Lyons' expertise during Hurricane Season especially during storms like Katrina. My eyes were glued to the TV like clockwork watching that monster come in and him explain what was going to unfold in these hurricanes. He'll certainly be missed and I wish him luck at his new NWS job in Texas.  :)

We'll have to wait and see how Dr. Knabb appears on-air this fall, but no one should expect him to be like Dr. Lyons or John Hope.  It's just going to be a major adjustment for us fans no matter how we slice it.  The experiences and personalities of a person are irreplaceable.

I think the thing that upsets me the most is that it wasn't necessarily Lyons choice to leave TWC. Kinda low of TWC to trade off the experience/personality for a new face.

Great career move for Dr. Lyons: MIC at NWS San Angelo. Shoot, I'd leave TWC too.

The new guys knows his hurricanes. If he can deliver the info clearly, that's all that matters.

I guess I'm on the other side of the fence on this one.  I never really cared for Steve Lyons.  I called him Mr. "now back to you".  I always felt his reporting was lacking.  I can't pinpoint it but he just seemed unenthusiastic.  He just rambled off maps and concluded with "now back to you".  Obviously I'm not going to have a lot of people who feel the same way but it's something I've felt since he first started on TWC.
