Lisa knows hot.
Curvy, cute as hell and undaunted by hail—that’s Lisa Patton, a steadily moving bright-red front on Middle Tennessee’s erogenous Doppler radar. We’ve always suspected other people shared our obsession with WKRN-Channel 2’s unflappable longtime weathercaster, but we didn’t know how much until we posted an ode to her tropical heat last year on a Scene blog. The heavens opened. “I’ve thought Lisa was the hottest woman on televised news since as far back as I can remember,” wrote one commenter. Gushed another: “That first shot they show of Lisa Patton in the weather newscast, when she’s still sitting at the desk. With her sparkly green eyes. No matter what the thermometer says, it’s hot in [my] household.”

And it’s for real. This email just came in and is just a sample of the kind of emails we get about Lisa and the entire weather team.
I could not find the correct spot for comments so I am contacting you. Lisa Patton and your weather news during the storms are simply amazing. I stayed with her from late afternoon to 4 Am, I gave out before she did. I hope youall realize that there are many people in Christian, Trigg and Todd Co. who depend upon you to give us weather news. The last time I stayed up all night with you was the other devastating storm that wiped out downtown Clarksville. On behalf of a lot of people on the Ky-TN line, you are a literally a life saver and much appreciated. Again a special thanks to Ms. Patton and to WKRN.
Sincerely, Mary Lee Norfleet, Hopkinsville, KY
Lisa and the entire ch2 news and weather team are fantastic. She is the only weather person I watch during storms since I moved to TN in 1999. I hate the storms here, but she has a way of talking directly too you and giving you information you need to make decisions. Even her southern accent makes me feel safe:) You guys just need to broadcast in HD now!
