Sublime joins KTLA weather segment for a sunny, musical forecast

Members of Sublime appeared on KTLA's weekend morning news to co-host the weather forecast, adding jokes about the extreme heat.

During KTLA's weekend morning broadcast, Jacob Nowell and Zano of the band Sublime joined anchor Kirk Hawkins at the weather wall. The musicians opened by commenting on a "beautiful southern swell" in Santa Monica and gave a lighthearted shout-out to a cyclist called Uncle Mike. They then took turns explaining the extreme-heat advisory, advising viewers to stay indoors until conditions improve.

Hawkins praised their teamwork as they alternated delivering the forecast, peppering the segment with jokes about the Bay Area's climate and triple-digit temperatures in the Inland Empire. The band also humorously recommended SPF 1000 before the segment concluded with Hawkins noting, "And that is Sublime… and your forecast."

Why it matters

The stunt shows how local news can blend entertainment with public service to engage viewers about weather safety.
