Lonnie Quinn, the local CBS meteorologist, announced his temporary departure from weather duties due to a recent concussion and a concerning health episode. Just before a live broadcast, he experienced a brief episode of blindness in one eye, prompting him to seek medical attention. Although he underwent a CAT scan that returned negative results, Quinn decided to prioritize his health. His colleagues, including anchor Kristine Johnson, expressed their support for his decision, emphasizing his professionalism during challenging circumstances.
I took a good - I took a wallop on my head and we went to the hospital.
It was right before the 11 o'clock news. I started to walk out here to the set and all of a sudden I couldn't see out of my left eye.
No one on staff was aware that he was experiencing any health troubles during the broadcast that night because Quinn is a 'consummate professional.'
I know this wasn't an easy decision but it is what's best, and everything is gonna be right here, just as you left it when you return.
