Los Angeles Weather Reporter Faints During Newscast

KCAL CBS/Los Angeles weather anchor Alissa Carlson, passed out on-air this morning as she was about to give the latest forecast information.

CBS Los Angeles Vice President and News Director Mike Dello Stritto told TMZ:
“Our colleague Alissa Carlson became ill during our 7 AM newscast this morning. I want to thank her co-workers who took immediate action to comfort Alissa and call 911. Alissa is being treated at the hospital right now. Hopefully we’ll know more shortly. In the meantime, Alissa will be in our thoughts and we’re praying for her to be feeling much better soon.”

Carlson had experienced a similar episode in 2014 — throwing up on set during a weather report when she was at a different station — and as a result … she was diagnosed with a leaky heart valve.
