Atmospheres
was a weekly television series on
The Weather Channel
. The series, hosted by meteorologists
Jim Cantore
and
Mish Michaels
, featured current weather news and information. Some of the original segments included "Feature of the Week", dramatic rescue stories from inclement weather (which would set the tone for
Storm Stories
); "Destinations", which highlighted exotic locales; "In The Elements", profiles of people working in extreme weather (a forerunner to
Epic Conditions
), and a unique weather story that varied with each episode. Each episode contained three local and two national forecasts.

Originally,
Atmospheres
aired new episodes on Sundays at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m.
Eastern
, Wednesdays at 8 p.m., and Saturdays at 5 p.m. Encore episodes aired on Saturdays at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. and Sundays at 5 p.m. In January 2003, when the award-winning drama
Storm Stories
premiered, new episodes of
Atmospheres
no longer aired. Reruns still aired on weekends until the end of summer 2003 when
Storm Stories
started airing every night. Since then,
Atmospheres
has not been on The Weather Channel's programming schedule; however,
Atmospheres
was the first entry of an initiative proposed in 2000 (by Jim Alexander, former head of viewer research) for creating a defining signature long-form program like
Storm Stories
,
It Could Happen Tomorrow
and
When Weather Changed History
.

Cantore's new show,
Storm Stories
premiered the same night
Atmospheres
had ended.
