Elita, a native of the Philippines, who moved to LA when she was 10 months old and after a brief stint doing the weather for the folks of Miami came back to make Channel 4 her home much to the delight of many Angelenos. Although I rarely see Elita doing the weather since I don't watch the news in the morning or midday while she is on, I have definitely heard a lot about her due in no small part to her being voted "America's Sexiest Newscaster" in 2006 by the readers of FHM Online magazine while she was in Miami. As far as I know this is not an annual poll so she seems to be the only meteorologist to hold this distinction as of right now and there is definitely a lot of competition out there. I pulled up a few clips of her weather reports and she is an above average weather reporter who is very calming and has a good style about her. I also have to admit, she seems to have a ton of fan sites online which definitely helped her ranking. It also turns out she is good friends with rival meteorologist Maria Quiban who ranked #8 in this poll.
