WARNING: For weather nerds only!

Ok. Since I’ve ragged on them for the bad, I’ll give them props. Click through and read this because it is actually a GOOD discussion. Possibly the best one I’ve read during this whole ordeal.

Of course, now it’s basically over, but the text outlines the after effects fairly well. Especially the hydro section. This could have easily been last nights’ discussion. Not much has changed.

Then again, I don’t know how “warming” an easterly gap wind can be when the source region is in the teens and 20s. But they are on the right track.

Quote
"GRADIENTS ARE FORECAST TO TURN ONSHORE AND BRING SOUTHERLY WIND TO MOST AREAS FRIDAY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE COLD AIR AT THE SURFACE SHOULD MIX OUT AND TEMPERATURES SHOULD GENERALLY RISE ABOVE FREEZING. LATER RUNS OF THE MODELS KEEP DELAYING THE ONSET OF THIS PROCESS AND NOW IT APPEARS IT MAY NOT HAPPEN UNTIL AT LEAST 15Z FRIDAY. ANY PRECIPITATION UNTIL THEN WILL LIKELY BE FROZEN OR FREEZING. TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO RISE INTO THE MID 40S FRIDAY AFTERNOON."

Just…argh. How vague is the wording in this discussion? It should not be allowed.

Don’t Need A Weatherman of the Day: KTLA meteorologist Henry DiCarlo has an on-air hissy fit after time constraints force the station to cut his forecast.

Surprisingly, neither Chris Schauble nor co-anchor Megan Henderson seize the opportunity to poke fun at DiCarlo for “storming off.”

While this is funny, it’s also a real problem. Some guys take it like Henry, while others have a more constructive answer.

Kevin Selle of Texas Cable News has devoted an (almost) entire website to the topic of what to do with less air time and has some occasionally interesting tidbits on how the TV weatherman can survive in the world of TV news today.

Bottom line is I still watch the local news mainly for the weather. I’m sure I’m not alone. It may be a dying industry but it can at least go gracefully.
