meteorologists
Storm front analysts
Meteorologists are scientists who study the atmosphere and weather.
Most visible are broadcast meteorologists who deliver forecasts on television and radio, though the field includes researchers studying climate patterns, severe storms, and atmospheric phenomena.
The meteorologists predicted heavy snow for the weekend.
