I agree that is way too much detailed info for the average person who just wants to know the high/low, whether or not to bring an umbrella wear sunscreen, etc The weather data from your smartphone is more than enough. That NWS site is full of the kind of discombobulated, useless info, that's not decipherable for the average person (typical government).

I did that already. I just see a large group of meaningless numbers. I have no desire to figure out where in all, that is what I want.go to the weather.gov website, find the forecast for your town or region, click 3 day history and it'll show you that days temperature and conditions history

CHimp...not hard.
Don't know *exactly* where you are, but here's a station in WNC that has a dedicated page:

WLOS News 13 provides local news, weather forecasts, traffic updates, notices of events and items of interest in the community, sports and entertainment programming for Asheville, NC and nearby towns and communities in Western North Carolina and the Upstate of South Carolina, including the...

68 for a high, 35 for a low. Now, YOU need to do the homework here and narrow down your results.
Best of luck to you!
That's not in my area.CHimp...not hard.

Also, it doesn't have the specific information I want.
its not hard at all, if you take less than 30 seconds to read. i use it on air every day. i could train a teenage volunteer radio dj to do it, i can train my afternoon guy whos had a stroke and has vision issues... to use/do this
Sorry, but we've *completely* sidetracked the thread about radio weather forecasting.
Getting vchimpanzee's weather in his backyard does take a wee bit of computer navigational skills that don't belong here.
Best of luck!
yes it does:
First Alert Weather
WBTV First Alert Weather has Charlotte's certified most accurate forecast and conditions
Scroll down a bit to the tab that says "3 day"
You're welcome!
you have to find the forecast page for your area.. and it will have the info you need.. you just have to look at the numbers and find the one thats the highest and lowest for the day... i have done that in 10 seconds, while on the radio, talking live and looking/reading.
I was trying to make the point that it's not simple like everyone wants to make it.
if i can navigate a website, read, and find the data youre looking for when on the air talking live, reading my weather forecast as i look for thge high and low temps n stuff... again, while on air and do it in 10 seconds, you can do it in 30 to 60 seconds at your pc at home while doing nothing else
Is this the thread where someone said twice is enough for forecasts per hour?
Yesterday I was not listening for the entire hour to the oldies station, but I did hear the forecast three times.

I see the OP never returned to participate in this discussion after dropping his obvious ad purporting to be "looking for feedback" in the first post.

Maybe he's too busy recording weather forecasts that will be outdated by the time they air.

Seriously, though, I checked his profile and he hasn't logged in since the same day he made that post.
Perhaps Lance scared him.
@vchimpanze, try this:
https://www.weather.gov//wrh/timeseries?site=KCLT&hours=720&units=english&chart=on&headers=on&obs=tabular&hourly=true&pview=standard&font=12&plot=temperature
You may have to customize the location further, if the one I chose (KCLT) isn't close enough to you.
But it offers one full month of hour-by-hour temperature observations in a text table format. You can easily find the high and low for each day.
There's also a graph near the top of the page that visually shows the temperature swings for each day in the table. You can hover your mouse over the peaks and troughs to see pop-up temperature readings. The graph also lets you left-click-drag to select specific areas of it to zoom in on.

Hi @lanceventa,
Actually, we do offer American English as a standard voice, and through the custom option, we can set up any language supported by ElevenLabs. The only Europe-related aspect is that our pricing is shown in euros, but Stripe automatically converts it to your local currency at checkout.
Thank you, @K.M. Richards, and everyone who replied,
Sorry for the delayed response , I was away with limited internet access.
As the founder of noiseandpatterns.com, I’m also a documentalist myself, and I strongly believe that the human factor is the most important part of our work. AI will never replace humans; it’s simply a tool that should be treated as such.
I’m genuinely interested in your professional opinions, especially since I’m still new to the radio field. From conversations with some of our potential clients, I’ve noticed there’s growing interest in AI automation in radio, and not just for weather reports.
Many smaller, independent radio stations are looking for automation solutions to keep their broadcasts running smoothly when the host or DJ is unavailable I mean things like automatic playlist introductions, alerts, or seamless transitions between segments. There are also a few cautious experiments with incorporating AI voices into on-air conversations, though that remains quite limited. We really love these radio implementations because it feels like we’re pushing frontiers.
Also our surveys show that listeners are generally comfortable with AI voices handling repetitive segments.
I believe the future lies in a hybrid format, driven by economic realities , one where radio professionals focus on the creative aspects of their work, while AI takes care of the more routine or repetitive tasks. But again, I’m still new to this field, so all of your comments are very valuable to me.
As for your comments about recognizing AI voices , the truth is, most people don’t notice anymore. We’ve partnered with ElevenLabs, and I’m honestly amazed by the quality of their voices. Back in my student years, I even wrote my thesis about dialog systems but I eventually left the field because it felt hopeless at the time. Things have changed dramatically , today I use AI voices for video voiceovers, and nobody realizes they’re synthetic.
Anyway we’ve just enabled a 1-week free trial for all our plans, so feel free to experiment and see how your audience reacts. The American voices are already configured to use U.S. metrics as well.

So far it's turning out the opposite: AI-generated video, audio, music, and art is taking over creative fields, while most people are still working 9-to-5 jobs, and employers are increasingly demanding workers to return to the office, rather than have the freedom to work from home.
