weathercasters

TV climate announcers

Weathercasters are people who present weather forecasts on television or radio.

The term emphasizes the broadcast performance aspect rather than meteorological expertise—some weathercasters are trained meteorologists, others are presenters reading forecasts prepared by others.

The local weathercasters were predicting snow all week.
