Reminds me of when Frank Reynolds lost his cool anchoring the ABC news during the Reagan shooting in ’81.
The news people are expected to keep steady, not panic the audience.

A simple mention of the weather forecast a couple times in a 30 minute newscast (less than 20 seconds of time to make this mention) is enough. We don’t need a weather map, temps for all the cities and a lesson in meteorology. You are correct, we have it all on our phones.
