weatherperson

Broadcast forecast presenter

A weatherperson is someone who presents weather forecasts, typically on television or radio.

The term emerged as a gender-neutral alternative to weatherman: The weatherperson predicted rain through the weekend.

Most broadcasters now prefer meteorologist, though weatherperson remains common in casual reference.
