7. Weather Forecast
Go to accuweather.com, type in the city your group is given, click on the tab for “now”
Use the information to create a weather station symbol model for the city your group is assigned. The model must include cloud cover, atmospheric pressure, location, dew point, present weather, temperature, wind speed, and wind direction.
Your group will create a news segment and someone will forecast the weather based upon your symbol. Be Creative. You need a new anchor and a meteorologist.
