"And Now...Your Forecast"

This program will be given over Zoom and broadcast live with live Q and A at the library. You can attend virtually or in-person. 

From low humor to high drama, TV weather reporting has encompassed an enormous range of styles and approaches, triggering chuckles, infuriating the masses, and at times even saving lives. It is a story of something that affects our daily lives, prepared and delivered by people who can effectively communicate ever more detailed information for the viewer and forecast user to make the best decision. In his PowerPoint presentation, Joe Rao, holder of Broadcast Seals of Approval from the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and National Weather Association (NWA) and an 8-time Emmy Nominated broadcast meteorologist, covers it all – the people, technology, science, and yes, show business that combine to deliver the weather to the public each day.
