"Who really cares"? Lots of us do!
Again, using a title when you haven't earned it is wrong. I have no quarrel with personalities doing weather, as long as they are not addressed as a member of a scientific profession.
And when the information given out is bad or just plain wrong, who will disneyfreak and others in asimilar mindset turn to? |

Stumbled on this board and discussion thread.
Don't know if any of you know much about the military weather forecasters or not.
Most don't have degrees but have considerable hours in formal (written by degreed mets and educators with PHDs)meteorology education and hands on experience.
They are responsible for all forecasts for a given base or operation...tornados and severe, detailed aviation forecasts (TAFs), etc.
Incredible talent in most.
