He'll have to learn how to do weather forecasts that do not include "feet" of snow.

I am curious as to where he will fit in? Is someone on their way out?

They have been using a free-lancer on the weekends so I assume her slot will get cut. But I could see Chris Holcomb moving back to weekends and Chesley taking the morning slot. This way Paul can get help from Chris or Steve on the weekday evening shows. Basically a real meterologist will be available for all weather segments.
How is Weather Plus staying on 11.2 when the program service was supposedly shut down on December 1

Looks like you hit the nail on the head, Rick Rose. Orleon Sidney just did her final forecast on 11 Alive News tonight. No word on what her next move will be.
Looks like Chesley will be debuting on Monday -- they just showed a commercial for him during SNL. Here's his website on 11 Alive:

Why the change with the adding of Chrisley. I don't like him on the air at all! If it's not broken DON'T fix it. Ch. 11 is going right down the toilet bowl. They let Flip go, (or he got fed up with the idots in management)and now Orleon is gone. Two of the absolute best doing the weather. Ch.11 you deserve to come in DEAD LAST!! 
Not only was Chris removed from mornings, but so was Randy Waters. No more live sports with Randy. Very dissapointing.amlover said:Why the change with the adding of Chrisley.

I feel this was why I watched channel 11 in the mornings more was for the live sports updates with Randy Waters. The other local morning shows didn't do this, so why copy them and do this too. Very disappointing and urge channel 11 to bring back the live sports updates in the mornings. In addition, bring back Bill Liss doing the business news (even if it is prerecorded) & removed the rundown on the right side of the screen. The rundown very annoying and a turn off.
