Further, what's as important to note is what is NOT reported. One of the reasons for the rise in mega-weather reporting on local news channels is to burn up time not talking about important local issues. Think - how long does it take to report the weather forecast? A couple minutes, tops.
There used to be a station that showed the forecast between two other stories--ten seconds, and out. That's all it deserves. Why do we need all this cold front and high pressure crap no one understands, just tell me the forecast.
