Al Roker continues to take America by storm!

The beloved Today show weatherman reached the halfway point of Rokerthon 2 Wednesday morning as he traveled to the South.

On this morning's episode, Roker shared highlights from his stops in Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. Hey, we warned you he was going to be using planes, trains and automobiles to get around town.

Along the way, our favorite weatherman was able to spot an Oscar Mayer Wiener truck, visit Goshen College, honor our veterans and of course see his fair share of goats.

For those who are a little late to the party, Roker is attempting to deliver the forecast in all 50 states and the District of Columbia in support of Feeding America. If he accomplishes the goal by Friday morning, he will obtain another Guinness World Record title.

As his wild week continued Wednesday afternoon, Roker hoped to reach Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and West Virginia. If you're wondering how he does it, your guess is as good as ours.

"Someone needs to stop him before he hurts himself," Savannah Guthrie joked. "Al, nobody else but you could do this or would even want to."
