Not all of them. I’ve watched weathermen on TV since they drew their own maps with marking pens and many can deliver the bad news without working on one’s nerves. There’s one on WGAL who will tell you that the day will be nice, but (Horror movie music) “Watch out for possible disasters tomorrow!” When he comes on I get up and leave the room. The best weather I can get comes from WHP in Harrisburg. They don’t get hyper, they explain what’s possible. Are they wrong? Yeah, once in a while but overall they are more accurate than Mr Sunshine. I wanted to reach through the screen one nice sunny day when doofus said, “All in all, another ho-hum day.” I’m sorry he was bored but we didn’t get that many nice days last summer and to have several in a row… Errrgh!
I wish they wouldn’t instill panic. And then everyone rushes to the supermarket and all the bread and milk are gone in a flash. Bread and milk? You would think beer and potato chips would disappear faster!
People do the same thing in the Southern US during hurricane season when a storm approaches, many tv weathermen go nuts with projected paths, wind speeds, and tidal surges along with numerous footage of people buying plywood, generators, batteries, and of course bread and milk, but hey – who can think of food or drink when disaster is imminent ?
This guy reminds me of José Díaz on NBC Nightly News, who over-dramatizes every sentence he reads off of the teleprompter.
And what’s happened to Al Roker? I know he lost a lot of weight but now he dresses weirdly and races through the forecast as if he’s limited to 15 seconds. I get nothing out of his weather reports.
Forecasters get more manic as Ice, snow, thunderstorm, and tornado fronts approach. I think there is a nitrous oxide tank they use while updating their reports.

Full disclosure should list stocks owned by the weathercaster.

Reminds me of the overhead road sign once shown on “Top Gear”, from somewhere in Texas.
A light snow shower was coming down, and the electric sign over the Interstate said “Is that snow? Oh my GOD, We’re All Gonna Die!”

How about getting Anchorman Ron Burgundy to do the weather.
