2NEWS Chief Meteorologist Dan Threlkeld has been hospitalized after he had his gall bladder removed and he was diagnosed with Gullain-Barré Syndrome. Gullain-Barré is a disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks the nervous system.

Dan was left with numbness in his hands and feet, and Bell’s Palsy paralyzed part of his face. He’s expected to make a full recovery, but not until after he undergoes a long and painful rehabilitation process. He's had a rough several weeks.

Dan worked at KFOR many years before moving up to Tulsa and joining channel 2.

Sorry to hear that. So many times we feel like those on air personalities are almost members of the family. My wishes for his speedy recovery.

Yes! Him and Kevin Foreman were probably my favorite meteorologists when I was a kid. That's too bad but glad he came out on the positive side of things. I hope his recovery goes well!

He sat in front of me at a Tom Petty concert once.

Good times, good times. . .

He should've stayed with us to reign Mike in.

i remember when during a tornado outbreak (the '99 tornados?) he started talking to the kids watching and said something like "quit farting around and get in your safe spot!"
