what's new with the weather?

I have use of all five senses. Even if I did not have use of all five of my senses I would be able to tell you what the weather was right now. Since I can see outside it is very easy to discern the weather pattern cloudy with showers, and occasional sun breaks. I see no need to turn on the television and watch the current weather forecast on the news. I also see no need for the weatherman to recap the weather that already happened. Sure it is occasionally nice to know exactly how hot or cold it was but that is at most a three second sound bite. Why does the local news waste so much time telling us what the weather is right now and then recapping what the weather was earlier? Oh gee was it cold this morning well since it is now three in the afternoon I can use this key piece of information for exactly nothing. Thank you for wasting my brain space. Also many of us can see the trend of cold in the morning warmer in the day then cooling at night this is usually how the weather works. Telling us this is unnecessary, now if the weather suddenly stopped following this pattern then that would be information worth sharing but for many of us the weather can be summed up: similar to yesterday, over the next month progressively getting 1-3 degrees warmer during the day because it is spring and that is the weather in spring.
