EARLIER: KCAL meteorologist Alissa Carlson Schwartz fainted Saturday morning during a live TV broadcast.
She began leaning forward, lost consciousness and slumped to the desk before she could even start her report.
There was a slight delay before the show cut to a commercial.
There has since been no update on Carlsons condition.
Carlson, a former Mrs. America contestant, has a heart condition.
In 2014, during a weather report on another station, she vomited on set during a weather report.
The ensuing tests discovered a leaky heart valve.
