Weather News Anchors undoubtedly have one of the hardest jobs on television. Not only do they have to read the teleprompter and stand in front of a green screen and point to objects that arent there, they also have the responsibility or predicting the weather correctly and then take it in the jaw when they miss the mark.
Seriously, we can actually get angry at our weather news anchors for wrongfully predicting that Saturday will be warm and sunny in the afternoon. Even if its cloudy that morning, we keep saying the local weather anchor said it would be nice. Then when it starts pouring sometime around 1pm and it doesnt look like its going to stop, we start cursing their name. Like its their fault you cant take the boat out this weekend.
But the local weather anchors do have a way of delivering the news that makes it impossible not to believe them. All of the weather news anchors are looking at similar information that they will use to deliver the news, and so the reports are usually the same across the board. Even if they are dead wrong two days in a row, we will still tune in on the third day because for some reason, none of the local weather news anchors were able to get it right.
Weather News anchors do spend a lot of time in school learning not only how to read the news, but also how to deliver the news. They do use tactics to let them know that since they are usually residents of the same local area you live in, they to are experiencing the weather and feel the same highs and lows that you feel after one of their forecasts.
The information used by weather news anchors is usually gathered from a range of sources like the national satellite weather services, wire services, and local weather bureaus. Some weather news anchors did go to school to study meteorology, while others simply read the teleprompter and then take the accolades or criticisms later.
