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.
Sounds like a great plan, Lauren. If you are interested in broadcast there is a program at Mississippi State called the Broadcast Meteroology Program, you can take courses remotely, but the plan you outine sound excellent. Internships are always helpful too. Nothing like being directly in the "environment". There should be a National Weather Service Office not too far from you, those folks are always happy to give advice. http://www.srh.noaa.gov/ Good luck, please keep us posted!

Hi. First suggestion would be to look into the American Meteorological Society and the National Weather Association. Most of their material is more technical in nature. For general audience material I would try Weatherwise Magazine. Good luck!

Well, Bill. As a "science guy", I know that photons don't drink and would never be caught in a bar. (rimshot)

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!

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!
