 Magic Happens

Have you wondered how I come up with a weather forecast everyday? If you have, keep on reading. Magic happens every morning in the "Weather Lab" as the Fox43 meteorolgists call it from time to time but better know as the weather office. There are so many "toys" we as meteorologist get to play with. The one I know most of you are familiar with is the radar. There are 6 computers in the weather office and all 6 of them serve different but multiple purposes. Such as looking at different models, building the graphics you see on air every morning, retreiving current temperatures, displaying watches and warnings, and one of the computers is the radar which picks up on rain, snow and thunderstorms ect. Wow, it is a lot to digest but it is all worth it when the forecast comes together or what I like to say when "Magic happens"!

Welcome to the world of weather!
