Dan Cooke is returning to Hawaii to be the new weather anchor for Sunrise on KGMB9 and Ben Gutierrez is joining the station’s Severe Weather Team, KGMB9 announced today on its morning show.

Cooke spent 15 years in Hawaii television before his last broadcast in 2002. Cooke reported on news and weather for KITV and KHNL from 1987-2002.
