John Bolaris chiming in after Cecily Tynan announced her August retirement:

@CecilyTynan I’m actually feeling kind of sad about your retirement . In a strange way you were still my connection to the glorious days of weather battles ! When the big storm was coming who were they going to tune into & watch … I must admit most of the time it was you . You… https://t.co/F8T7LTGbQg

“…You were always the consummate pro. Your TV prescence (sic) was unmatched ( always thought you should be the one on GMA) Polished & professional . Of all the weather people that hated me & others you were ALWAYS kind to me , I’ll never forget that . Philadelphia will be losing a weather legend Cecily Tynan . Your history is unblemished ( mine not so much ) . When I was fired from Fox29 , I wanted so much to come & work with you & your weather team .. My agent did approach but it was a no way . I wish you nothing but happiness . Philadelphia will miss you . Sincerely , John Bolaris“

I wouldn’t mind hearing more about Bolaris’ agent going to Action News after he was fired by FOX 29. Could you imagine Jim Gardner tossing it over to J Bo at WPVI? And then Bolaris and Adam Joseph trying to figure out who’s going to work weekends?

That could be a good story for the weather podcast Bolaris is pitching in the second tweet. Not sure about you, but I’d definitely listen to a podcast with John Bolaris and Cecily Tynan. They could start with 10-15 minutes on meteorology itself, like “there’s a bomb cyclone in the forecast” or “did the government use cloud seeding to create Hurricane Milton?” Then they spend the next 20-30 minutes sharing stories from their Philadelphia weather days. Cecily could set the record straight on whether or not she actually called Joseph a “moron.” And then Bolaris could tell us the story about how he took down that syndicate of Russian mobsters after he was hoodwinked by Moldovan hookers in Miami.

It would be appointment viewing. Silo on Friday night, TBD weather podcast on Saturday night, and then House of the Dragon on Sunday night.

Yes!
