CBS2.com Presents A Day With Jackie Johnson
Our colleagues over at CBS2.com present a delightful and informative photo slide show, A Day With Jackie Johnson, the Southland’s favorite weathercaster (sorry, Fritz!), Jackie Johnson.

You see Jackie Johnson every night on KCAL 9 News, but her weathercast is only the end product of a hard-days work. Here you will get a glimpse of what goes down before Jackie goes on the air.
Head on over there to watch it all.
A few of our favorite moments from the slide show are excerpted below.

Jackie has no time to sit at her desk and catch up on e-mails; she has to get ready for the cameras… first the hair.

Jackie says she usually does the curling at home… unless she’s running late.

Now it’s on to makeup, which begins with a layer of base.

Bet you thought we were done! Nope, now powder is brushed on over the foundation.

After a few final touches, the rollers come out and Jackie is ready for TV. But…

Analyzing the data, Jackie chooses the models she believes to be the most accurate.

Think about if you have thick or thin hair, long or short and curly
or straight. The O by Cloud Nine Heat Pod
– This unique roller system from across the pond heats up in THREE SECONDS.
The straight hair looks better on camera and so the
snowball effect has happened.
~THE END ~
The cleanup begins!
Jackie – Oh!
Its been downgraded to a Category 2 …
She is awash in waves of satisfaction …
Jackie just lost her objectivity reporting on this activity …
The storm surge is crashing onshore
Its about to make landfall
Its a Category 5
I have an occluded front right now.
B O I N G !
Oh!!! I forgot one more thing…getting pampered in make-up…..sitting at a computer all day looking at schematics from the “National Weather Service”…A hard days work? you must be kidding..tell that to someone who works in construction….the only real hard work was her agent landing her this cake job… get real
Another example of Barbie dolls doing the news and weather…I would bet they care more about their hair,make-up and outfits than they do about the news and weather…10 to 1 they check out the other “girly-girl” news and weather forcasters on their competition to see what their wearing as well….my opinion… “model types” doing the news is nothing short of a joke…get “real types”,that actually care about the news when they’re “off-the-air”
Jackie rules all the weather.
Jackie is great, but I’m an Indra guy. (can’t I have both??!) ;)
hi jackie ! just stop by to say hi u r the best, i never miss ur weather report every day .
Jackie, You are one hot babe period! You are eye candy and I enjoy watching you on T.V. Will you ever do Playboy?
Hi Jackie!
Thanks for doing such a great job bringing us the weather. You seem genuinely friendly and cheerful. Also, I think you are one of the classiest looking ladies in the media I’ve ever seen. Nothing vulgar about the way you present yourself. Your fiance is a lucky man! Be Blessed!!
Jackie is the most accurate and most articulate wx person in the LA area, and I am a former Air Force meteorologist so have a basis. But Jackie, on tonights 9/28/08 9 pm wx cast with a discussion of Gustav, complete with a correct counter-clockwise rotating icon. However you later showed two additional trop depressions in the south Atlantic, and the icons for both were spinning in a clockwise rotation. A BAD snafu! Depressions are low pressure areas and the windflow is cyclonic, or counter-clockwise.
the southland’s favorite weather person is indra petersons at abc7. she does the weekend morning weather and is delightful. dallas raines is a total hack.
I wait with baited breath for Aztek, H.G. and D.M.
haha, look at the other “important” slide show categories that Jackie is placed with:
Celebrities Who Died Too Young
2008: What Britney’s Done Right
Las Vegas Casino Fire
Celebrity Sex Tapes
Best Bosoms In Movie History
thats more grab bag categories than an episode of Jeopardy
I didn’t realize she was so talented. Jackie Johnson Coachella 2009!
Wow–both insightful and provacative and with just a single word. Brilliant commentary, “Pushing Tide.”
