Weather Forecasts on KOOL 96.1

About 5 or 6 week ago KOOL 96.1 started airing weather forecasts. A female reads the weather forecasts hourly between 10AM and 2PM. From "Meteorologist Elliot St. Pierre." Does anyone know who "Meteorologist Elliot St. Pierre" is? I think the female gives her name as Sherri Wright." Anyone know who she is? It's obvious she's not local as when she gives the temperature for Southington she pronounces the name of the town wrong (like many people who are not local) pronouncing it SOUTHington.There is a also a male (I never caught his name who reads the weather hourly 2PM-6PM).
 
The same people who pronounce a nearby city as MERIDIAN, like in Mississippi? I still think NEW Haven is even worse. I even heard NEW Britain once. Mangle Worcester by intentionally saying WAR-CHEST-ER, and watch the stuff hit the fan!

Doesn't the KOOL Radio programming come from New London County and/or WBMW-FM 106.5?

They have computers set up in West Springfield, Glastonbury, and Ledyard (I think) that run the same exact programming with the same 3 voice-tracked DJs. The only difference is The West Springfield station (WACM 1270) and the Westerly Station (WSKP 1180/104.3) run CBS News on the hour while WNTY (96.1/990) run West Wood One News.

Scott "Thunderbird" Wheeler 6AM-10AM is Voice-Tracked from Illinois.
Lisa Sinclair 10AM-2PM is Voice-Tracked from LA. She used to be on the now defunct KFWB in LA.
Michael Maze 2PM-6PM is locally Voice-Tracked as he's also on WBMW and WMRQ.

Theresa Barry and Sean Murphy mornings on WBMW also do the local news hourly at 6AM, 7AM, 8AM, and 9AM on WNTY (96.1/990).
