Matt is a meteorologist for NBC 4 New York. Meteorologists use math and science to make predictions about the weather. If you’ve ever taken an umbrella to school because rain was in the forecast, you can thank people like Matt for helping you stay dry. Matt reports the weather on TV, but not all meteorologists work for news stations. They can work for the military, NASA (the U.S. space agency), agricultural companies, and other industries that are affected by the weather. If you’re curious about why it’s sunny one day and rainy the next, and you like studying nature, you might want to become a meteorologist like Matt. Here’s how.
