Here's your storm warning: CNN is reporting that Lewis Black will be forecasting on the Weather Channel. Yes -- that Lewis Black.
Not sure if this is great for the channel or bad for Black, who is known for his righteous rants on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show." He won't be a permanent fixture though; the Weather Channel is hoping it will be their first of many celebrity forecasters.
Black is a "closet weather fan," which they think makes him a perfect fit. Alrighty. Can't blame the channel for trying, though. The Web must be a tough competitor. After all, I still can't figure out when to tune in for my local update.
The segments are scheduled to start tonight on the Weather Channel. -- Rachel Cericola
