Interviews with Professionals
We were able to visit two local news stations to talk with chief meteorologists about their professions. At the different locations we learned many interesting facts about what it takes to be a meteorologist. As you will see in the video footage the meteorologists provided us with a hands-on tour of the news station and even allowed us to demonstrate a weather forecast.
The two pictures above show News 25 chief meteorologist, Wayne Hart, providing explanation as he shows us the weather room.
