The 5 day forecast is really an outlook not a forecast. Mobile's airport has a very complete record of temperature and other weather information. Most forecasters use it as a standard so that when you hear different forecasts you'll know that they all have the same reference. All weather data for the United States is archived at the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, North Carolina. For local information, one of the easiest ways to find out what the weather was on a certain day is to go to the library and look in the weather section of a newspaper.
Most major papers have a weather map along with a summary of the previous day's weather.
We get dozens of requests for appearances, many of which we are not able to fulfill. Please send a letter directly to the weathercaster that you would like to see. Include as much information about your event's, location, time and date as well as information on your organization. Keep in mind that it is difficult to get a team member to come out for an event that will have small attendance or an event that conflicts with our normal on-air schedules. When we deliver the forecast we stand in front of a blank green screen.
