Weekend View's initial launch date was planned for September 10, 2005, but its premiere was delayed two weeks due to the busy 2005 hurricane season.

Later, in September 2007, meteorologist Samantha Mohr joined The Weather Channel to replace Kelly Cass, who moved to PM Edition.

On July 31, 2010, Betty Davis left Weekend View, and departed from The Weather Channel as well; Maria LaRosa became her official replacement.

In November 2010, Kelly Cass moved to Weather Center Live and Maria LaRosa joined Todd Santos for Weekend Now.

If there was a major weather event, the 5-7 a.m. block of Weekend View would start two hours earlier and air from 3-7 a.m., and a meteorologist would join Ray Stagich during that time.
