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.
You know, I agree. I also never thought Steve looked that comfortable in front of the camera. That may be one of the reasons why his reports were like that. I've also noticed how quiet he talks and he looks at the map much more than at the camera, which may be another sign.

Oh wow, I did not see this coming. Hmm... I never noticed that he appeared to look uncomfortable in front of the camera, but he may have been for all I know. I will, though, miss his analysis. I've come to look forward to his presence during hurricane season--it has just become routine for me. But everything happens for a reason, so I guess it's for the best in the long run.

I always thought Steve was good, in terms of forecasting and his analysis on waves and hurricanes. I did not notice his comfortability in front of the camera. (I noticed some mumbles, though).

Wasn't Dr. Knabb one of the NHC meteorologists who wrote the advisories? I seem to remember seeing his name at the bottom of many of them.

Yeah, I believe he was one of the meteorologists who wrote advisories. Here's one of the advisories he wrote back in 2007.

Knabb was pretty beast during Katrina...and smart...but he won't be able to replace the hard worn experience of Steve Lyons who will be truly missed along with Dave Schwartz, Hillary Andrews, Janine Albert, Eboni Deon, Jeanetta Jones and everyone else. I'm starting to miss even old Bob Stokes and annoying-voiced Heidi Cullen now (believe it or not). Al Roker is a horrible fit for TWC. Not to take away from his Food Network show which is good...but that's where he should remain, Food Network.

Dr. Knabb is currently making his first on-air appearance discussing possible tropical system development in the Atlantic.

The new guy was alright Martin. When I heard Nick Walker say they had a NEW Hurricane Expert, my heart dropped! It's not going to be the same without Dr. Lyons being there. I do wish him the best though :-)

Sorry to bump such an old topic! The station I work at here in San Angelo, relatively new actually, did a small story about rain (or lack of) and Dr. Steve Lyons was featured in it, so I thought I'd sure it with you guys:
