Lonnie Quinn is back to work! The CBS New York meteorologist, 61, returned to television on Monday, May 5, after a long recovery period for a traumatic brain injury in March.

CBS Weather Correspondent Robert Marciano shared an Instagram post welcoming his friend and co-worker back to the studio. Marciano wrote, "happy to share that Lonnie Quinn is back to work today @cbsnewyork and @cbseveningnews !!"

He added, "This man is a good friend, a gifted weather pro, and all around great human. It’s been a fun privilege to fill-in for him the last few weeks as he heals and works thru concussion recovery. We are all so psyched to have him healthy and back in action!! 💪🙏👊."

In the May 5 broadcast, Quinn said of reconnecting with his co-workers, "Listen, I missed you guys more than you know. I mean, this is a business where we're kind of connected to what we do, and I'm certainly connected with you guys."

The newscast then played a wholesome video of Quinn reuniting with the entire newsroom, who were sure to give him a warm welcome back. Quinn provided new details on his long absence from the program.

In the May 5 broadcast, Quinn elaborated, "Once the MRI came back, and that's when the doctors came in and said, 'OK, well, this is actually a traumatic brain injury, not just a concussion. You've got to be out of work for six to eight weeks, and we just got to [stick to] rest and relaxation and get you back to it.' "
