Sheena Parveen moves to primetime, but 'Hurricane' Schwartz is still Chief Meteorologist at NBC10

POSTED: Monday, January 28, 2013, 2:42 PM
The babe and the bowtie.

NBC10 meteorologist Sheena Parveen has replaced Glenn "Hurricane" Schwartz on the station's nightly news broadcasts. Schwartz has moved to the day side and remains the station's Chief Meteorologist, a title he's held since 2002.

Station spokesperson Kathleen Burke declined to comment on the change.

Parveen, a Florida State alum, came to Philly from Good Day Tampa Bay. Viewers began to see more of Parveen last year after Schwartz underwent open-heart surgery. [h/t The Philly Post]

    About freakin' time...they should have done this months ago...the news and weather in general is a chore to watch...Might as well be as entertained as possible. And she knows meteorology as well as, if not better, than the rest of them...it's all a big guess anyway.

    Those of you judging a book by its cover...first, look in the mirror and, using the same logic, figure out what people KNOW about you. Second, check out Sheena's credentials. They don't just give away those qualifications. You have to earn them. She out-credentials all but one Philadelphia area meteorologist. See if you can figure out who. Wait...never mind...keep thinking whatever gets you through the night,

Earth to NBC10, this switch will not help your ratings! If I want eye candy, I will watch the playboy channel, not some weather bimbo

    When schnozola Parveen and skeletor big-gums Tynan with her are considered the standard-bearers for beauty or "hotness," you know you're in dumpster-town, Philadelphia. They wouldn't last a day in a real "big city." They might make "Queen of the Bowl-a-Rama"...maybe.

    Sad to see so many people here with snap judgements based entirely on the fact she is an attractive woman. If you knew anything about her, you'd realize she is the most educated of all the meteorologists in Philadelphia with a degree in meteorology and a minor in math from FSU, as well as a Certified Broadcast Meteorologist seal from the American Meteorological Society. No other meteorologist in Philly has this certification.

    This was no surprise. As soon as she came on I figured it was to boost ratings. I have no problem with that. And let's be honest, weather reports are so over-rated and can be done in a one minute segment. They get more air time than sports now. Really, do we need to know what's happening in areas of the country? Who cares if it's snowing in Colorado or raining in Seattle. Leave that to the national broadcast.

    T*** Magee beats out the Bowtie. Getting snow forecasts right is more important than trying become Playboy's Top Ten Female TV personalities. TV stations fall victim to ratings instead of providing solid information.

    I read that Glenn wanted to stop wearing the bowtie but his contract requires it. I kind of liked him because he was unique and different from the rest. Parveen is obviously more attractive but blends in with the rest of the weather "babes". Glenn had a nice run, but in entertainment and sports, there is always someone waiting to step in when you are injured or sick.

    Dead man walking or forecasting in this case. I don't know what the haters are thinking, less Hurricane, more Parveens is a great thing. She does sports segments as well for CSN, a 2 tool broadcaster. The Philly Weather Gals should do a calender, Cecily, Sheena, Michelle Grossman, Katie Fehlinger and my favorite Kate Bilo.

    It doesn't matter who speaks the weather to us. They're going to be wrong forecasting it, then the next they they'll tell us the forecast was correct, even though anyone with a DVR can clearly tell the forecast wasn't correct.
