I need some help from you smart people....im confused...

[kaorder1999]

Ok...when you wake up and watch the news, the weather person will give you the high temp and the low for the day. For instance...it will say the high is 65 with a low of 48. BUT...as she talks the temp might be 36. So....my question is....WHY IS 48 considered the low when the temp is currently lower then that??? ANYONE KNOW??? What am i missing here?

idk...but maybe the readings are from a set location which is the readings they use for the metroplex. Don't know ...but that would be my guess.

[kaorder1999]

you hear them say overnight low...so i wonder if that low temp is just the lowest temp during the night? or how low it iwll be afer dark that day? confusing!

The high they are giving is for the current day, the low should be for that evening. :thinking:

That should be the low for that night into the next morning.

I think you're missing 12 degrees!

If they aren't saying "current temp", it'a forcast for the coming day.

Maybe TV stations need to hire weather people with degrees and/or experience; broadcast meteorology doesn't cut it.

Sometimes the whole day's high can be at 12 midnight. Sometimes a day's low will be at 2:00pm that afternoon. Especially when a cold rainy day is involved.:nerd:

i think it has to do with almanacs and stuff like that
