What a world we would live in if that screen behind the weatherman was actually a floor to ceiling high-definition screen. Of course, that is not the case. Each weatherman (or woman) stands in front of a green (or blue), though its not seen on t.v., screen. Those scattered storms headed towards Ashland are digitally inserted, as is that five-day forecast that often projects beautiful weather... at least during the school week.
So thank J.C. Monahan when she manages to describe events unfolding behind her on a blanks screen. Take that News to Go, but don't forget to check Channel 5 for tomorrow morning's weather.

This is probably the most ubiquitous use of green screen in television and it has been around for a while. The systems have gotten quite complex over the years, allowing the weather person to take control of the footage on the green screen using only their hands.
