Yet another Philadelphia television personality has a book on the way. WCAU's Glenn "Hurricane" Schwartz's "The Philadelphia Weather Book" hits bookstores in June and can be pre-ordered on amazon.com.

Written with fellow meteorologist , Jon Nese of the Franklin Institute, the book talks about this region's weather and climate, which includes statistics about our snowiest winter, hottest summer, and more.

Schwartz joins authors Larry Kane (KYW), who wrote "Larry Kane's Philadelphia" and is writing a book about the Beatles, and WPVI's Rob Jennings, who wrote a fictional novel, "Krista." By the way, the photo of Jennings on his book was taken by WPVI anchor Marc Howard (who knew?)

Meanwhile, WPVI's Rose Tibayan remains on the shelf, as she was suspended from the station for attempting to write a resource book.

To pre-order Schwartz's book from Amazon.com go to http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1566399564/qid=1020285433/sr=8-1/phillyburbs-20

THE GOOD GUYS AND THE BAD GUYS GO TECHNO

Speaking of weather, WPVI's newest "toy" is "Stormtracker 6." The live radar system debuted on "Action News" this week.

DON'T CHALLENGE HER IN TRIVIAL PURSUIT

The latest hire at WCAU has some serious academic credentials. Aditi Roy, who joins the station as a general assignment reporter in May, has degrees from Columbia University, Stanford University and University of California, Berkley. She arrives from KHQ-TV in Spokane, Wash. Roy can talk about the great northwest with fellow new hire Tiffany McElroy who was in Portland, Ore., before starting at WCAU.

A WEDDING STORY

A Levittown couple will become the first pair to get married on the syndicated "Judge Mathis" this week. The aptly named Aaron Rice III and Angela Pressley say "I do" Monday on WPSG-57. "Judge Mathis" airs at 10 p.m. and 9 a.m. on WPSG. No word if they'll be spending their honeymoon on "Temptation Island."
