weatherpersons

Broadcast meteorology presenters

Weatherpersons is the plural of weatherperson, a gender-neutral term for someone who presents weather forecasts on television or radio.

The word emerged as an alternative to weatherman: The station hired two new weatherpersons this year.

In practice, weather forecaster or meteorologist appear more often than this slightly awkward coinage.
