Weather Forecast Homework

This week you will have a weather forecast homework assignment as a supplement to our PBL unit on weather.  I would like you to watch a meteorologist give the weather forecast on at least three separate days.  I am posting three websites that you can use to watch the forecast.  I also recommend watching the 5 o'clock or 6 o'clock news when the meteorologist comes on.  Remember, I want you to watch an actual weather scientist speak about the weather, not just look up the forecast online with an app or website.
