Al Roker's Wake Up With Al Show on the Weather Channel has reportedly been cancelled
It was cloudy with a chance of getting fired on Monday when Al Roker's 'Wake Up With Al' show on the Weather Channel was axed after a stormy email session with his boss.
The Today Show's weather guru was reportedly canned after email flurries with David Clark, president of the Weather Co.’s TV division, reports Page Six.
The squall reportedly began when the veteran weather watcher wanted to cover the tenth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.
But Clark reportedly insisted on covering Tropical Storm Erika instead, even though Roker pointed out it wouldn’t arrive in Florida for days, if ever.
Erika sputtered into rainfall before reaching the U.S.
'Viewers aren’t stupid. They can see when potential landfall is,' Roker reportedly pinged his boss.
Clark is then said to have replied, 'If you disagree with a decision you are welcome to speak up ... but this is out of line and not how we do things here.'
Roker then supposedly made a digital gaffe when he shot back 'Really David. You want to try and spank me in front of people.'

He also reportedly accidentally carbon copied several other executives.
In a followup mea culpa, Roker apparently wrote, 'I didn’t mean for this to be a public argument,' saying that he didn't mean to 'reply all.'
Quicker than an April shower, Roker's show was cancelled after six years.
According to CNN, the show will last air on September 25.
Other sources said the climate change was more due to financial concerns, given that the show is filmed in New York, which is expensive.
Roker has not commented on the report that his show has been iced.
