On Saturday morning, viewers of CBS Los Angeles were shocked when meteorologist Alissa Carlson Schwartz fainted during a live broadcast.
The incident occurred as Schwartz was about to begin her forecast for the 7:00 AM hour. She suddenly slumped onto the desk and then collapsed to the floor.
Viewers quickly took to social media to express their concern for the meteorologist. One user tweeted, “That was so scary! I hope she’s okay!” Another wrote, “I can’t believe what I just saw! Praying for Alissa Carlson Schwartz and her family.”
Fortunately, it appears that Schwartz is doing well after the incident. On Sunday, she released a statement saying that she was “going to be OK” and thanked everyone for their support and kind words.
All of us at KCAL News want thank you for your thoughts and prayers after Meteorologist Alissa Carlson fainted during our morning newscast. Alissa is now resting and recovering. She says she’s going to be okay.
Schwartz has been a meteorologist at KCAL News since 2018 and has become a beloved figure in Los Angeles. She is known for her enthusiasm and passion for weather forecasting, which makes her collapse on air all the more shocking.
It is still unclear what caused Schwartz to faint during the broadcast. However, it is possible that she may have been suffering from dehydration or low blood sugar levels due to stress or lack of sleep. It is also possible that she may have had an underlying medical condition that caused her to faint unexpectedly. Another media outlet had reported that she may have discussed having some sort of heart condition, but it’s not certain if this led to what happened over the weekend.
Whatever the cause may be, we are glad that Schwartz is doing well after this frightening incident and wish her a speedy recovery. We look forward to seeing her back on air soon!
