Earlier this week, Rob Marciano made a significant revelation, announcing his departure from Good Morning America to some extent. Nevertheless, this does not mark a farewell for the 55-year-old weather expert. He is not leaving entirely but rather shifting away from delivering forecasts for GMA Weekends, redirecting his attention to weekdays.
The responsibility for the weekend forecast now falls on the new GMA meteorologist, Somara Theodore. Rob remains an active contributor to weather forecasts on the morning news program GMA and continues to provide his expertise for various ABC reports aired at different times and on different platforms.
