I wanted to know what tempted Mark to become a meteorologist.He explained to me that he did not to want to be a meteorologist originally.He actually wanted to study architecture.In order to prepare for his career in architecture, he studied for a number of years until he changed his mind.That was when he chose his official job - being a meteorologist!

I also wanted to know how weather is predicted and what tools are used in the process.Mark informed me that he has to use many tools such as a barometer which measures the humidity in the air.Another important tool is a computer model which lets him study the weather picture.He also told me that WCBS-TV has just gained a new weather system called SKYTRACK 2.SKYTRACK 2 lets viewers get a 3-D image and a better concept of the weather in their area.

I asked Mark about the best and worst parts of being a meteorologist.He informed me that the best part is having the ability to give a good and accurate forecast to viewers.I was also told that the worst part is when there is a heavy storm approaching.From there, Mark has to decide which direction the storm will head.He will also have to predict the amount of precipitation.Whether rain or shine, meteorologist Mark Danon tells it all.
