The Weather Channel Visits Destin and South Walton.

The segment "Why I Love Spring" will be filming through April 2 along the beaches of Destin.  The show began doing a seasonal segment last year, according to Jeff Thein, vice president of program development.  When the time for spring rolled around, The Weather Channel decided Destin's sugar sand beaches and emerald green waters were ideal.
