Bill Henley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bill Henley is a meteorologist for WCAU in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There he presents the weather during the weekday edition of NBC 10 News Today. He is also the co-anchor of the morning talk show 10!. Henley joined WCAU in February 1994. Unlike his colleagues, Henley does not have a American Meteorological television seal or Certified Broadcast Meteorologist certificate, despite a promo on the station claiming all their meteorologists have the Certified Broadcast Meteorologist certificate.

Around the 6:20 am weather report, Bill Henley does his exclusive EarthWatch Travel Forecast. It consists of him giving the temperature and condition of several popular cities around the county, and one last town that has a strange name, which changes daily. Henley starts of the travel forecast by saying "Getting ready to skip town? Check out these forecasts for major cities around the country." Before the last town is mentioned, he says "And our final major city this morning, the HUGE metropolis of...", while a drum roll is playing in the background and the town is unveiled. One of the daily cities mentioned is Miami, which Henley refers to as Miami Beach, and pronounces it with a unique emphasis on "Beach". Terry Ruggles is known to imitate Henley's pronunciation of Miami Beach at times. It should be noted that only Bill Henley does this travel forecast, and it is only shown weekdays at around 6:20 am. When Henley is absent, the travel forecast is not given, unless the substitute is Dave Warren. On December 29th, 2006, Henley plans to attend dinner at Alba with Mr. and Mrs. Pepin.
