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.
Tough to answer without knowing more about the assignment. You could track forecast temperatures and compare them to actual readings for a period of time. Good luck!

There are quite a few, Dave. At the base level you can always go to weather.gov and select a region of the map. That will take you a local office and the "Climate" link on the sidebar will get you started. Also, a simple Google search for something like "average temperatures in (city)" will bring up links to Weather Underground, The Weather Channel, etc. Actually, one that I have found recently makes some nice charts is weatherspark.com. You can select any city and then averages. Have fun!

Hi, Brian. Being so close to the coast is doesn't snow in Virginia Beach as much as father inland, but it does happen. You can find out more about the climatology here: http://www.weather.gov/akq/
Thanks!

No, most weather segments are not scripted. And, I think most weather people agree that this is pretty conclusive evidence that the weather folks are much smarter than the news anchors. :)

Well...yes. It actually depends on the station and the individual. I would say that most of us develop a forecast of our own from data provided mainly from NOAA as well as other agencies. Some will use the forecast generated at the local National Weather Service and a few others may have a forecast provided by a private forecast service. Thanks

There is a really neat effect on radar in several parts of the country, including parts of central Texas. In the evening the bat colonies spread out to begin feeding. You can see them on radar staring as a small point, then an ever increasing fan or arc spreads out as they move. That or ghosts. (insert evil laughter here...)

Hello, Ladies. Yup, there sure are. Not knowing the age group of your audience makes it a little diffucult for me to give an answer. I'd start with an Internet search, and, basic meteorology books, espeically ones geared toward kids are also a good resource. Goog luck!
