AL Roker has been replaced on Today with a surprising fill-in meteorologist.
Bill Karins reported the weather in the show's studio, as the main star heads to the West Coast for a show project.
Bill told viewers that there would be near record highs again on Thursday.
However, in the northern part of the country, there was going to be snow.
He was still keeping an eye out on the tornadoes around the country.
Bill is usually seen on NBC's Early Today and Top Story with Tom Llamas, as well as MSNBC's First Look, Way Too Early, Morning Joe, MSNBC Live, and CNBC.

However, Bill has filled in on occasion.
Then, about 45 minutes into Today, Bill returned as Hoda Kotb said: "Bill Karins is in the house. How are you doing, Bill?"
He told viewers once again that if they live on the East Coast, and enjoy summer weather to get outside the next two days because it will feel like summer.

"Hey, everybody. I hope you are having a great afternoon," the 68-year-old said, as he took a stroll in Central Park.
"The weather is spectacular. I'm out here in the park, getting some steps in, taking my time."
Al continued: "I hope you will be joining us in Sonoma for our first ever Start Today Wellness get-together.
"We've got Alex and Felix. We've got Stephanie Mansour, all kinds of Sonoma chefs. All of that and more, and of course, maybe a little vino."
The Today meteorologist chuckled as he told his followers to have a great day.
"Don't forget, on Friday, coming up, Start Today, live from Sonoma," he said.
"Well, almost live. Anyway, talk to you soon."
The Start Today challenge encourages the morning show viewers to get active and walk a little bit each day.

On Wednesday, Dylan shared a selfie of her and her husband sitting in the airport.
They both had wide smiles on their faces as the Today meteorologist snapped the picture.
"If you listened to #lunchdatewithdylanandbrian on @siriusxm @todaysxm then you know how happy @fishlense is that we made it to the @delta lounge before our flight #sonomabound," she captioned the post.
In the photo, Dylan had on a denim jacket with faux-fur on the collar.
She displayed a new look by wearing an off-white, wide-brimmed sun-hat.
