The Storm Jonas Story :
- When Storm Jonas happened in 2016, Miri was due to give birth to her baby boy. Not being able to report on a major storm as she was on maternity leave, Miri had to watch her colleagues at WBAL-TV cover the storm.
- Storm Jonas was the biggest ever to hit Baltimore, with 29 inches of snow covering Baltimore-Washington International Airport. Miri was prepared for the storm, staying in a hotel a few blocks from the hospital where she was registered to deliver. She was not the only pregnant mum as there were a few other pregnant ladies in the hotel with doctors and nurses ready to assist.
- Sitting through Storm Jonas was a test of patience for Miri. She had to fight the urge to measure the snow outside with her pink ruler or to do a report from her location.
- However, after measuring an inch of snow, Miri was content she had to miss the action. At that time she had to concentrate on being a mother than being a meteorologist.

I love Miri! She is one of the reasons I look at channel 9!
I am sorry to see her leave. I was sad when Mikea Turner left. They both lasted longer than most of the weekend and weather people at Fox5.
Good morning
I think you are so beautiful. I try to watch your weather report every morning just to make my day!

Where is she?. She is missed. I hope all is well and look forward to her return.
Yes, where is Miri Marshall? I miss her in the mornings, .
Where is Miri Marshall? I don’t see her on TV anymore.
I think she does a pretty good job. I have a suggestion to help her do even a better job when forecasting the weather. The lower end of Southern Maryland should be covered much better. The locations in Calvert County that should have better coverage are, Prince Frederick, and Lusby. The locations in St. Mary’s County that should have better coverage are, Lexington Park, St. Mary’s City, (The First Built State House in Maryland), and/or Ridge. They really need accurate forecasting, that the DC Meteorologists seem to miss for some reason.
I think she has the talent of doing a much better job than the rest.
Yes indeed. Where is she? What happened to her? forecast- the ONLY one that consistently did that……
Where is she??? First Tommy left, then the anchor moved to evenings. Now Miri is nowhere to be found.
Where is Miri? I miss her.
