Sunrise Weather is an early morning weekend program airing on The Weather Channel. Its emphasis is on straightforward forecasts. The program airs for a half-hour on weekend mornings from 4:30-5 a.m. ET, and has the shortest runtime of any forecast program on the network. It is also the lowest viewed show on TWC since it is shown at a very early time and on a weekend. Sunrise Weather launched on September 20, 2008, replacing the first half hour of the now defunct Weekend Outlook. It places more emphasis on hard weather forecasts than most other TWC shows. When the show launched, Ray Stagich co-anchored with Mike Seidel on Saturdays and Alex Wallace on Sundays. In September 2009, Seidel left to cover College/NFL games for TWC, and was replaced by Jeff Morrow. In July 2012, Wallace left for First Outlook, and was replaced by Danielle Banks. In October 2012, Morrow left TWC. Banks and Stagich started anchoring both Saturday and Sunday together until November 2012, when Banks left for Weekend Now and Weather Center Live, and was not replaced. The show is currently hosted by meteorologists Ray Stagich solely on Saturdays and Sundays. If there is a major weather event, Sunrise Weather will be pre-empted by an extended edition of Weekend View.
Sunrise Weather (1) is currently not available on any services.
