(KCEN) -- Just a month after being shot, meteorologist Patrick Crawford returned to air.

On Monday, Patrick returned to Early Texas Today at 4:30 a.m. forecasting the warm conditions.

"I timed my comeback very nicely with today's forecast," he joked. "We've got great weather today. We can expect the warm weather we saw over the weekend to return again today."

In the 6 a.m. hour, members of the Texas Today crew surprised Patrick with Superman T-shirts in support of him. On the front of the T-shirts there was the Superman logo, but on the back, wording stated "Crawford Strong."

And while his coworkers surprised him with the Superman shirts, he had a little surprise of his own. He showed that underneath his suit, he too was wearing a Superman shirt in true Clark Kent fashion.

"It's good to be back. A little difficult waking up early this morning to get back to the station, but I am glad to be back," he said.

Patrick returned just a month after being shot in the KCEN parking lot. A $20,000 reward remains to find Patrick's shooter.
