These days when I tune into KHOU 11, I can't tell if that's George Clooney or meteorologist Brooks Garner. It all became confusing as soon as Garner made TV Guide's The 10 Sexiest Weathermen on Earth list.
Serioulsy, I haven't been this excited about a hunky weather guy since KPRC 2 meteorologist Jonathan Novack was cast in ABC's The Bachelorette in 2010. Is that a warm front coming into Houston or am I just suddenly getting overheated?
Since one of Garner's newscasts is channel 11's noon show, will we see him bare chested on the weather wall talking about a vertically erect system? (That is seriously a real weather term)
"Shirtless on the Noon," Garner laughed with mikemcguff.com. "Only after I secure a seven-digit contract with CBS network as a permanent fixture on, The Young and Restless. Of course, I'd have to get my chest waxed and tanned. Yeah -- so not going to happen."
Garner was surprised by his #10 slot on the sexy list, but he figures a snarky tweet might have gotten him nominated.
"Several months ago, People Magazine solicited newscasters around the country to enter into their 'Sexiest People' contest, and snarkily, I tweeted something about it (and never heard anything else), so I'm wondering if TV Guide somehow stumbled upon the idea of rating weather people," Garner told me.

"One day, David Paul and I were brainstorming simple ways to present detailed forecasts," Garner told mikemcguff.com. "It would be too much info on one TV screen to try to squeeze 12 hours of data, so I conceived the weather wheel. We agreed it was a viable solution and I sent my drawing up to the art department, and KHOU's lead graphic artist masterfully executed our objective."
And sorry ladies, before you try to find Garner's SnapChat username, I have to tell you his girlfriend Erica Harness (pictured above), might take issue with you hitting on her man.
My Orogenous Zone is tingling (no serious, once again a real weather term). Special thanks to theweatherprediction.com's list of sexy sounding weather terms for helping me write this post.
