In addition, she loved doing weather and believed that telling people what to expect, helped them plan their lives.
Furthermore, McNamara’s newfound love of weather took her to WEAR-TV in the Sunshine State. While there she began doing weekend weather, soon moving up to the weekday morning news. While she forecast plenty of sunny and steamy days, she mostly loved tracking severe storms along the Gulf Coast.

CBS13-WJZ-TV Background
CBS13-WJZ-TV is a television station in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It airs programming from the CBS network. The station is owned and operated by the network’s CBS News and Stations division and maintains studios and offices on Television Hill in the Woodberry section of Baltimore, adjacent to the transmission tower it shares with several other Baltimore broadcast outlets.
The station was first launched on November 1, 1948, as WAAM, becoming the third television station in Baltimore behind WBAL-TV (channel 11) and WMAR-TV (channel 2), all within just over a year. CBS13-WJZ-TV was initially owned by Radio-Television of Baltimore Inc., whose principals were Baltimore businessmen and brothers, Ben and Herman Cohen. Channel 13 was an ABC affiliate, the network’s fifth outlet to be located on the East Coast and it carried a secondary affiliation with the DuMont Television Network until its closure in 1956. Both affiliations moved from WMAR-TV, which became an exclusive CBS affiliate.
CBS13-WJZ-TV used its current stylized “13” logo, using a font face exclusive to Group W, since 1967. The CBS eye was added in 2002, and in 2018, the station switched to a silver and gold-colored version with the WJZ call letters displayed below in squares. CBS extended its usage of the stations’ call sign to radio on November 3, 2008.
When CBS Radio changed the call signs of two of its Baltimore stations, WHFS (105.7 FM) and WJFK (1300 AM), to WJZ-FM and WJZ in reflection of their connection to WJZ-TV; the changes coincided with the move of WJFK’s local sports radio programming, which included a program co-hosted by WJZ-TV sports anchor Mark Viviano, to WJZ-FM.
