During the 11 p.m. Channel 2 Action News newscast Monday night, chief meteorologist Glenn Burns was doing his weather forecast when he lost his breath for a moment. He threw it back to anchor Jovita Moore and they soon cut to commercial.
A few minutes later, after the commercial break, he told the viewers he felt okay and finished his forecast.
But given that Burns had open-heart surgery three months ago, he sent me a note to explain what had happened:
UPDATE: 8/2/2016 It has happened at least a couple more times since then.
UPDATE: 2/3/2017: It happened again tonight.
