Television weather is irrelevant.

Their job is not to keep people safe.

Their job is to entertain. Perversely, bad weather is entertainment. It is not news or a safety alert because your cell phone gave you that information several hours and several minutes ago.

The world would be a better place if all television news teams were carried off to Oz and never heard from again.

Agree 100%. It's bad enough when news has to be entertaining-especially on weekends when news is considered too depressing to be allowed to ruin fun-but there is almost NO science in weather. Too boring, too clinical. Weather is something you ask the magic computer to predict. None of these weather people, ersatz meteorologists, could predict stink in a Port-o-let. They cry wolf, and exaggerate, so often no one believes them unless a check outside proves them right. If a 'weatherman' isn't entertaining, they don't last on air.
Locally, we've had people who would be better suited doing stand-up comedy.
Saw the same thing during Katrina. The city was flooding and people were calling local stations complaining SOAP OPERAS weren't on, no football...Astonishing. People were dying in their attics and morons were calling radio stations complaining usual programs weren't on-even that bus service was interrupted and their maids and gardeners couldn't get to work! This weather man was right to go off.
