BBC Breakfast viewers were greeted by two rarely seen weather stars in a presenter shake-up.
Friday morning's meteorology segment was fronted by Sarah Keith-Lucas, who shared her forecast with those who tuned in for the show.
But regular viewers took to Twitter on seeing Sarah in the telly spot instead of iconic weather forecaster Carol Kirkwood or usual Friday presenter Matt Taylor.
One penned: "Looking lovely Sarah. Thanks for the weather report!"
As another Twitter user added: "Morning Sarah. Happy Friday!"

Sarah also penned her own post on Twitter adding: "Good morning. A quiet day weather-wise for most.
"You may be lucky enough to see a few glimpses of sunshine but there's generally a lot of cloud. I'll have more details on@BBCBreakfast."
BBC Breakfast's Naga and Charlie handed over to Sarah on Friday for the forecast on morning's segmentAnd although the Weather segment had a switch up for January 27th, on the red sofa the faces of Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt provided more familiar faces for viewers.
But Charlie appeared to make a show blunder when handing over to Sarah as he stumbled on what day of the week it was.
The star said: "Five minutes past seven, S- It's Friday morning! Nearly said Saturday morning then, it's not. It's Friday morning."
Turning to Sarah, he reiterated: "Sarah, it's Friday morning, okay? How's the weather?"
Giggling, Sarah replied: "It is! It's Friday morning, nearly the weekend, isn't it? And actually the weather should be behaving itself for many of us today."
And although viewers were somewhat surprised to see Sarah on the slot — she's actually worked for the Beeb since 2008 and is best-known for presenting the five-day forecast on BBC's Countryfile.
