CBS NY meteorologist Lonnie Quinn taking leave after concussion scare: 'Couldn't see out of my left eye'
Briefly

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.
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.
