Forecast weather and protect communities from severe storms
Meteorologists analyze atmospheric data, create forecasts, and communicate weather warnings to the public. They work in television, radio, the National Weather Service, private companies, and research institutions.
You review overnight model data at 4 AM, prepare your on-air forecast graphics, deliver live weather segments during the morning show, monitor radar for developing storms, and issue severe weather alerts when conditions warrant.
