Whatever the Weather
Whatever the weather, your local meteorologists have it covered on the news – for about three minutes, in between commercial breaks. Rarely, though, do they have time to explain weather phenomena in a longer format, in depth. On "Whatever the Weather" your local meteorologists dig deeper and tell you all you want to know about Mother Nature – from tornadoes, to freezing rain, to climate change. They also chat about what it’s like to be broadcast meteorologists, and the challenges they sometimes face in day-to-day TV life. So put on your nerdiest glasses, pop on your best headphones, and enjoy... Whatever the Weather! Proudly presented by KSAT-12 in San Antonio, TX.
