If you were watching News 4 at 5PM today, you caught my special announcement! Thanks to @DoreenGentzler and @AimeeCho4 for helping me to break the news. Here's the exciting (unplanned) moment:

You Guessed It! Storm Team4's Amelia Draper Is Expecting Her First Child

Yes, that is a bump you see when Amelia Draper gives the forecast. She finally announced the good news on-air. Watch the funny —and slightly sneaky — way Doreen Gentzler got her to spill the beans.
