All the drama surrounding the arrival of Julie Durda at WPLG in Miami turned out to be pretty good for displaced meteorologist Michael Smith.

Smith is the newest meteorologist at The Weather Channel.  

Every meteorologist was shuffled at WPLG when management brought Durda in from WSVN and moved former Weather Channel met Betty Davis to chief meteorologist.

Smith is from Atlanta, so the move to network puts him back home.

He starts next week.
