This is the page that I initially posted when the original announcement was made:

https://weatherhalloffame.org/ginger-zee/

More details to come later on, whatever date that might be in Normal, Oklahoma--we don't know yet.

Congrats to her. I think the next female to join is either Abrams or Jen. Maybe both, who knows. We don't know who will be in the class of 2020.

You meant to say 2021.
Add also Kelly Cass to the list.

Not really, they introduce Ginger as CLASS OF 2019. They don't have a CLASS OF 2020 (yet). I'm sure there's a number of people they could consider for a number of years (unless they expand their Hall of Fame from 3 per year) including Kelly, Steph, and Jen. Not only on the national level but people who been on local TV stations for say 30-40 years.

Unlike the early days of television, there aren't as many meteorologists staying in one place--lots of job hopping out there.

More than likely since he's been on Today for 24 years now and did a show with Steph for six (would it be something if both of them made it to the same hall of fame class).

I'm biased, but I'd like to see WPVI's Cecily Tynan inducted. She started her career near me at WDBJ7 in Roanoke, VA. And while we're at it, how about her mentor WDBJ7's Robin Reed. Robin started is career in 1979, and has been with WDBJ since 1982.
