Al Roker is back in the hospital "due to some complications" after experiencing a blood-clot scare last month.
The famed weatherman was absent Thursday from NBC's "Today" show in New York where co-anchor Hoda Kotb updated viewers on his condition. The announcement came shortly after Roker missed this year's tree-lighting ceremony at Rockefeller Center.
"It was wonderful hosting the celebration, but, of course, we all wished that Al could've been with us," Kotb said. "He is in very good care. He's resting and his doctors are keeping a close eye on him. Al and his family want everyone to know how grateful they are for all the love, the support and the well wishes."
