Keeping up to date with weather forecasts isn't necessarily the easiest task. There's wind patterns to think of, rain or snow that might appear and blasts of heat or cold that help us navigate our daily lives. Knowing what to look for can be tricky. Oftentimes, what helps weather geeks predict the weather isn't just what they watch on television; it's what computer programs and weather services they're privy to. Also, the weather isn't something entirely predictable, especially when you think a snowstorm might be coming. Sometimes you have to start early, like 3 a.m. Tony Mondaro, a lifelong Harrison resident, knows the deal. He's been doing the weather for years. As the founder and operator of the Harrison Weather Center, he keeps track of every single weather current so you don't have to.
