First Forecast Mornings
First Forecast Mornings isn’t your typical news program. We think it’s better.
Give us a few minutes and you’ll quickly realize First Forecast Mornings is a departure from newscasts found elsewhere. The idea was born from a simple question. Wouldn’t it be great if you could get the information you need, presented in a timely fashion, and from people having fun? Yes.
Building on that premise, Weather Anchor Jill Washburn delivers comprehensive weather and traffic information, without the wait. Want to know how much to bundle up your kids? Should you grab an umbrella? Â Traveling up north? Â Jill has you covered. With First Forecast Mornings, you never have to walk out the door unprepared.
Whether you are dropping the kids at school, or about to tackle your daily commute, traffic is a major concern in Metro Detroit. Randy Bhirdo brings his enthusiasm and a dose of humor to help you dodge the orange barrels. Watching First Forecast Mornings will help you avoid accidents with the most up to date traffic information available. If there’s a road closure, you’ll know about it, along with the best alternate routes.
Beyond traffic and weather, First Forecast Mornings will also make sure you have the news headlines that matter. Syma Chowdhry and the First Forecast Mornings team scour through the latest happenings and filter out the extras. The result is a concise newscast, with a relatable anchor, powered by the trusted CBSDetroit.com. Think of the hours you’ll save by letting us do the work.
Start your weekday mornings with Randy and Syma on WWJ-TV from 5-7am.
