weathercast

Meteorological news segment

A weathercast is a broadcast of weather information, typically on television or radio.

The word blends weather with broadcast or forecast: The morning weathercast predicted thunderstorms.

Less common than weather forecast or weather report, it emphasizes the broadcast medium rather than the prediction itself.
