At that ever-revolving door at KING-5, Jordan Steele, meteorologist & former host of the now cancelled “Take 5” afternoon show has departed the station to take up a new position hosting a new program on behalf of The Weather Channel. “Weather Today” will join Quibi’s Daily Essentials category of programming, launching on April 6. This brand new show from The Weather Channel television network, that will debut on the mobile-first short form video platform Quibi. It will be a three-to-five minute show airing seven days a week that features the most important weather news stories of the day as well as a national forecast. We’ve also learned that Rebecca Stevenson is now a permanent member of the KING-5 weather team & will eventually end up on air on a regular basis.

While I was watching The Weather Channel I was shocked to see Jordan Steele appear on air. I then got online to confirm his exit out of king 5. Good for you Jordan Steele doing what you love to do. Definitely a loss to Washington.

Wow! I really miss Jordan Steele, He was absolutely down to earth and I could relate to him, It’s very disappointing he didn’t work out at king, I’d have to say it’s a big loss for you guys I thought he would go far and be around for a long time, Not sure what the problem is but you guys seem to discard the “good ones”, Bummer, I hope he’s happy and his beautiful family as well.

Jordan Steele seemed like he’d be a challenge to work with, so no losses for me. He came off as having an ego that wouldn’t fit through the door.
I like KING 5’s meteorologist Craig Herrera (I believe that’s his name). It never made sense how many weather presenters the station had on in the early evening. I even recall seeing Craig and Jordan doing a team-tag weather forecast one evening; WEIRD!

I share Greg Hunicutt’s opinion of Jordan Steele. It doesn’t look like Steele’s new gig is a step up. Craig Herrera is top notch and much more humble. It is a pleasure to see him do the weather. I hope he is with King 5 for a long time

I also share Greg’s opinion here. Jeff Renner, Rich Marriott, Rebecca Stevenson, Joyce Taylor-
All
Class Acts. Other socialites on King keep me turning away.

I was REALLY put off by JOrdan Steele- such a BIg EGo- he wanted WAY more than to be a meterorologist- wanted his own show. Not my cup of tea, but doubt he’s “landed’ where he wanted to be- meterology not his schtick.
he wanted way more!

Lorrie, I 100% agree with you! But just saw him a couple of day’s ago, couldn’t believe he was the same guy? Someone on the Weather Channel has been working hard on making him palatable! Totally different person…I guess there may be hope for me?

Kyle Taylor Lucas says:
Absolutely disagree with these mean comments about Jordan Steele. He was my favorite both as a brilliant and engaging meteorologist and as a reporter. I happen to know that he did outreach to be inclusive on important stories. He was far more than “palatable.” And I so appreciated him as a devoted and loving dad, including to his beautiful son with special needs. I have so missed Jordan and pray he and his family are doing well in their new lives.
