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.
Might be an opportunity to meet a neighbor, Emily. If you must stay in your apartment the best place is a small space toward the center of the unit, bathroom, hallway, closet. The idea is to have as many walls between you and outside an smaller spaces have better structural integrity. Something to cover your head, like couch cushion or bike helmet. Great question, thanks.

Most of the data we use is readily available to anyone, but some services require a fee. All computer models have one bias or another. The enhancement that the humans try to bring is trying to understand the biases and account for them. In a breaking or severe weather situation the humans add updates that are very short time (minutes). Hopefully we also add a connection to the audience and a sense of personality, both friendly and serious. Great question, thanks!

Nothing out of the ordinary, Doug. It is tropical weather season and they may have had some tropical downpours lately. The average peak of hurricane season is Sept 10. Most likely what you would see is some brief afternoon downpours as opposed to a vacation washout. Have fun!

Most stations have a minimum of 3 weather folks to cover the entire week, morning, evening and weekends. The larger the city and the greater number of newscasts allows for more staff. Few stations have more than 6 people. A few large cities have a some off-air positions that are producers who manage the TV graphics and other functions.

Not quite sure I understand the question. Certainly the weight of a large amount of snow can cause problems, as can the runoff as the snow melts.

Hi, Hally. Multiple tornadoes can occur within one thunderstorm complex. I would do a Google search for some pictures.
