Kelly Bates is the smartest, warmest, clearest presenter of weather details that I've ever seen on TV. Ever!
No disrespect to the other weather analysts on WJAR but you have two jewels in Kelly Bates and Mark Searles. Please recognize that.

Unless Kelly Bates is returned to her normal Meteorological time slots and her FULL TIME contract is renewed, I will no longer be WJAR - NBC 10 viewer. I have been a faithful CH 10 viewer since 1974 when I moved to RI but I will not support age or appearance discrimination.

If a major weather event is anticipated it is Kelly Bates (over local and national weather) I seek to hear. Drama is not her style JUST THE FACT. She holds a higher percentage of accuracy than any other. For hurricanes, snow etc Kelly stands the true test of who you can rely on.

Watch Kelly faithfully, she is right on point, I commute from Westerly State Airport or if needed my vehicle, which then I take the Block Island Ferry out of Pt.Judith to Block Island. I rely on her forecasts to plan my commute over as many days with the weather their could be days when neither the ferry or plane is running. Bring Kelly back as others have said, the problem with all these higher ups ifs they think younger is going to sell people. That's not the case here.

It's too bad when NBC is more focused on youth than experience! They won't do better than Kelly Bates... with that said it leaves me to wonder about the rest of their management staff. Get Kelly BACK!!

Kelly Love is at Fox 5, why would she want to come back to a broke state and it is cold. Did anyone ask Kelly Bates, if she only wanted to do weekends.

Every time they bring someone in to replace her I write to the management but it seems useless. I hope she does get back on the mornings where she belongs.
Bring her back
You don;t her to follow Matt's route, anymore.
