"Hello I'm weather announcer Melissa Schenk and on behalf of Expert Village today we're going to be talking about the weather. In this segment let's talk about forecasting as an art for a moment many people think that weather forecasting is for only the scientific nature people but many artist actually really do enjoy the weather as well and art does play into the weather forecasting especially if your going to translate that into a television position as a weather announcer. Because not only do you need to be able to interpret the weather but you also need to be able to draw the weather because all of the maps that you see usually art drawn by someone so if there are the warm fronts and the cold fronts that you need to relate to your audience you are going to be the one drawing them on the boards. So you'll see with this future cast here you need to be able to activate to be really to project by reading the maps which we've talked in earlier segments, how to interpret maps and weather plots and different models on the computers. What your doing is your interpreting those and you need to take those interpretations translate them to paper, what I tend to do is put a chart together of all of my data and what the forecast is going to be tonight, tomorrow day 2 thru 7 so in a 7 day planner really and then your going to look at your temperatures and how much precipitation is going to coming and what the sun times are the sunrise and the sunset. And you put all that information together and then you build your graphics and this is where the art form really does come into play. Where you are talking not only about temperatures but showing pictures of pictures of people sent in the community but you your doing all the graphics relate to that. So weather forecasting not only for the scientific nature person but also as an art form as well."
