KTLA weathercaster Mark Kriski suffers 'mild stroke' on heels of colleague Sam Rubin's death

KTLA “Morning News” weathercaster Mark Kriski is on the mend after suffering a stroke — just weeks after longtime on-air colleague Sam Rubin died from a heart attack.

The local TV station reported the news about Kriski in a social media post on Wednesday, saying he’d had a “mild stroke” earlier this week and that the veteran reporter and nine-time Emmy winner was recovering.

“Mark checked in with us earlier on Wednesday and we’re happy to report that he’s in good spirits,” KTLA Channel 5 wrote. “He also wanted to thank everyone who has reached out.”

Kriski’s wife, Jennifer Gould, told TMZ that the seasoned weathercaster suffered the stroke early Monday morning at their home in Los Angeles.
