In trying to get the warning out, there can be stress in the a recognition of danger and a great desire to be right. I was in the Air Force, which needed weather officers to brief pilots about weather. They sent me to the University of Oklahoma. In 1973, I left the Air Force and joined the National Weather Service, where I worked as a forecaster in several states before I was promoted. I'm now the Chief Meteorologist for the Department of Agriculture, where I study weather and how it affects farm production, livestock, and crops all over the world.
Weather is a wonderful career.
If you like clouds, can learn math, and enjoy talking to people, you'd make a great weather forecaster. It was one of the best things ever to happen to me. Weather and climate are wonderful career choices. The best answer is practice. There is a monitor out of view that the weatherperson watches and then reacts accordingly.
