It’s been quite some time since we checked in with DCist’s favorite Sam Kinison-influenced weatherman, AccuWeather.com’s Jim Kosek. We first took notice of Jim back in spring of 2007, and checked back in with the manic, screaming funnyman/forecaster from time to time over the course of that year. But apparently we dropped the ball on keeping tabs on Kosek, because an AccuWeather insider emailed us this afternoon with a link to this video and word that Kosek’s schedule was recently shuffled to take him off the Washington, D.C. forecast. AccuWeather says “emails have been pouring in” to get Jim back on the District beat (we’ll take their word for it), and now Jim is apparently trying to push viewer outrage past the tipping point. If you miss Jim Kosek’s thoughtful, diminutive reading of the weather, check out the video for what to do.
