The Weather Channel held its first full-blown upfront presentation this morning at the Mandarin Oriental in New York, with Weather Co. president David Kenny touting a new slate of originals and recent shows that represent a change in the forecast for the elderly cable network. It's been five years since Weather had an upfront of any kind, but it's always been a party and never (until now) a programming presentation.

Up soon on the network: Freaks of Nature, a series about people who exhibit strange and unusual powers; and Strangest Weather on Earth, about everything from volcanic smoke rings to rains of frogs.
