Remember Stephanie Abrams from our Hot Girls of the Weather Channel report? Well, the correspondent proved this morning that she's just as resourceful as she is easy on the eyes, when she broadcasted the morning weather live from an elevator. In addition to field-reporting and covering the 2010 Winter Olympics, she's also apparently Al Roker's fill-in weather girl on the "Today Show." Abrams was scheduled to make a cameo on this morning's program from 30 Rockefeller Plaza, which is across the street from the "Today'"s street-level studios.
Instead, with minutes to spare before the broadcast was due to go out live, the elevator Stephanie was riding in broke down. (Our general suspicion is that it was somehow Tracy Morgan's fault.)
With no one else on the show able to wave vaguely at a green screen, Abrams called her producer, who decided to have her broadcast the report from inside the 30 Rock elevator.
Luckily, around 8 a.m., Abrams was "rescued" from the treacherous machine by a maintenance team. The comely correspondent then Tweeted about it, writing "We are OUT and GTG!! first time stuck in elevator! who else has that happened to....stories? in 140 characters or less of course! ha."
Keep reading for the full clip of Abrams gamely doing the weather live without a teleprompter.

Let's see you try it! Granted, it isn't open heart surgery or rocket science, but stringing together 60 seconds of a flawless TV segment, live and without a script, takes poise, and yes, professional experience.

Stephanie Abrams is marginally average looking, at best. But she does the weather well.

Stephanie Abrams is not a "weather girl" - she graduated with a BS in geography minoring in mathematics from the University of Florida in Gainesville, graduating with honors and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.
Abrams' second degree was a Bachelor of Science in Meteorology from Florida State University in Tallahassee, where she graduated cum laude.

All of us are so spoiled. We should be THANKFUL that we have the technology to at least look forward to see what the weather is close to. I know my area weather guy/girl is pretty much right on. What would you do if you didn't know what the weather was going to be for say....mmmm maybe 3 days from now. Luckily technology makes our life easier so we can plan our lives. Think back to the 1800's when they didn't know if they were going to have rain, sleet, snow, tornado's or hurricanes! All I can say is this, I am blessed to have a weather person to at least tackle the forcast and some of it be right, as not to know at all. Better yet, I am even more blessed to have a TV to watch it from. Don't get me started on that subject you spoiled people.

That is why the ipods and video cams are so important nowadays, you can do instant communications from anywheres with them. Also that Stefanie babe filled in nicely for Al. Honorable babe mention to Ann Curry as well.

I stopped watching the Today show with that idiot Matt Lauer and the liberal gang of tush kissers a long time ago. They are an affront to the average man: the women think they're so glamorous, the men so debonaire and smart. The group has this disgusting elitist attitude of "look at us, we're perfect, we've made it,we're so sweet,kind,liberal,smart and wonderful". I really despise the arrogant blond bitch who replaced the liberal imbecile Couric.
