She tells a little about herself via facebook. "I joined the morning show Eye Opener in late November 2011. I am one of the hosts and also am a fill-in meteorologist on KDAF/CW33 in Dallas. Eye Opener can not only be seen on the CW in Dallas, but in Houston, Miami, Portland, and Philly (my hometown) on WPHL17! Previously I was at Fox 25 first as the weekend meteorologist beginning in June 2009, but was promoted to Morning Anchor and Reporter in May 2011. I enjoyed being in the community and co-anchoring Good Day Oklahoma. Before moving to Oklahoma City, I worked as the Mid-Day Meteorologist at WBOC-TV in Salisbury, MD. I got to fly in Chopper 16 doing weather broadcasts from the sky with Captain Willie and Chopper Chuck!"
You can connect with Danielle on Twitter @DanielleVollmar. She tells us that for now she is just filling in this weekend and when they need her. Caitlin Roth is still the weekend meteorologist.

| First day at Fox29 on Philly! I got to hang out most of the day in the weather center with the team! I learned a lot! Great day! |
UPDATE: Danielle Vollmar only spent a few months at FOX 29 before landing a permanent position with Channel 5 the ABC affiliate in Boston in April. I only recall only a few appearances on FOX 29 but I thought she was pretty good.
"Danielle's experience with reporting on severe weather conditions will bring valuable insight to weather across New England," added WCVB-TV News Director Andrew Vrees.
Vollmar comes to Boston from KDAF-TV (CW33) in Dallas and has extensive experience with breaking news and severe weather reporting.
Previously, she worked for KOKH-TV (Fox) in Oklahoma City where she reported on a wide range of weather stories, from droughts to tornadoes and most specifically, the Oklahoma City Christmas Eve Blizzard of 2009.
"As a meteorologist, I have always tried to ensure viewers are prepared for any weather condition," said Vollmar. "I'm excited to join the leading team of meteorologists at WCVB-TV.”
Prior to her position at KOKH-TV, Vollmar was the noon and early evening meteorologist at WBOC-TV (CBS) in Salisbury, Maryland, where she received an AP award for Best Weathercast.
Vollmar started her broadcast career as a fill-in weather anchor for WENY-TV in Elmira, N.Y., while she was finishing her atmospheric sciences degree from Cornell University.
Hi Danielle, I really miss you on eye opener in Miami, Florida. You're a great host, and you always put me in a good mood during the work week. I like your positive, friendly attitude. I think you would make a great comedian, too.
