With the weather we have her, the TV stations have actual meteorologists, with degrees, make their own forecast. One station is still 100% locally owned, and they have RADAR that is more advanced than what the National Weather Service has down in Norman, OK. It is a million watt, dual pole, super high speed RADAR unit that has astonishing resolution. They use their own computer models to guess at the upcoming weather. They are still wrong regularly.
It is not like San Diego where they hire an attractive actor or actress to read the same forecast day after day. It was fascinating in Alaska the TV weather had flying conditions, winds aloft, and METAR forecasts. With all the pilots up there, they cater to the audience.
