Chicago tv viewers had Harry Volkman for just about forever. He's retired now. The man who risked being prosecuted to give the first tornado warning on television 50+ years ago was one of the best. He was just plain good at what he did, and how he explained it to you. He wasn't one of these gloom-and-doom forecasters, either. They don't make them like him anymore.
Chicago still has Tom Skilling, the man who tries to give a 4 semester college course in weather every night for 10 minutes during the 9:00 news on WGN.
South Bend, IN television for the most part has gloom and doom weather idiots. "We're breaking into programming to tell you that it's sprinkling 85 miles outside of our viewing area. Stay tuned, we'll be back with team coverage in 5 minutes, for now, back to all but the last 5 laps of the Indy 500". When we do have severe weather, the weather-guessers don't even know the cities and towns in their viewing area. They rattle off names of towns and settlements that no longer exist, or places that were railroad stops or junctions 40-75 years ago when there were still tracks there. "A severe storm is heading for Pine in 8 minutes." Better call Norfolk Southern, their employees were probably the last people there about 15 years ago.
NBC's Today Show and The Weather Channel still have Al Roker, Mr. "I'm not a meterologist, but I get to play one on tv".
It's not an exact science, and nobody's perfect. With all of the technology available, they ought to be more accurate than a coin toss.
