I've been a broadcast meteorologist on television since the early 1990's. Happy to answer any questions about the weather or local TV news. Yes, I often wear sneakers on set just out of view of the camera.
Hi, JG. I must admit that is a bit out of my area of expertise. You might try an internet search. I found this: http://www.surfline.com/surf-report/costa-rica_2736/map/

Hi, Parker. Big bunch of questions, thanks.
1. Number one these days is keeping up with the ever growing distribution platforms, Facebook, Twitter, TV, etc.
2. Looks at raw computer model forecast data and generates a public forecast, creates graphics for TV news shows, maintains digital platforms and does public appearances.
3. To determine precipitation trends and look for specific threats like tornadoes, damaging winds and heavier rain/snow area.
4. I'd like to know your answer to that one!
5. I hesitate to answer for fear of creating an argument. I think Oklahoma University would be on just about everyone's top five list.
6. I studied through Mississippi State University.
7. A four year degree is standard.
8. Always interested in the sky, and I like looking into the future.
9. Not specifically. I was a DJ on the radio for many years before weather.
10. Yes, there is a certain consideration given to voice and appearance for TV jobs.
Thanks!

Hi. Not really a good spot here for me to describe the typical duties without some specific questions. You might try visiting a local TV station of National Weather Service office. Good luck!

If a homeless person wants to use your bathroom, are you supposed to stop him?
Peace Corps Volunteer
Are Peace Corps volunteers just a bunch of "hippie freaks?"
SWAT Team Commander (Retired)
How do you decide whether to try and kill a hostage taker?
Sounds cool, Vicki! Best guess is there was a fair amount of moisture lingering in the air after the rain ended which was scattering most of the light except for the yellow spectrum. Bet is was pretty!

Hi Abby. I would say get as much education as you can in math and science. There are a lot of meteorology programs at great schools. Aside from a formal education I would advise you to do as much "networking" as possible. Join the local chapters of the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and National Weather Association (NWA). They love student members and you will meet some great people from a lot of different areas. Go and make friends with the folks at the closest National Weather Service office. Storm chasers are great folks who love to share their passion. You might also try for an internship in the weather office of one of your local television stations. The more people you meet and know the better. If you need more information let me know. kevinselle.com Good luck!
