OKLAHOMA CITY —KOCO 5 Chief Meteorologist Damon Lane is known for bringing you the most accurate forecast in Oklahoma.

Damon Lane used the “challenge” as a chance to remind fans not only that he’s more successful than his 2009 self ever imagined he'd be, but also that he still has a decent head of hair.
