WEST MICHIGAN — Your local meteorologists get a "pass from being pinched" on this St. Patrick's Day, as wearing green at work interferes with doing the weather on television!
Fox 17 Meteorologist Terri DeBoer gave viewers a "show and tell" this morning, showing and explaining why wearing green causes a meteorologist to literally disappear!
As DeBoer explained, the camera is connected to a device called a chroma key; which removes everything that is a specific color in order to marry two images or video sources together.
Most television stations across the country use the color green for this process; which means meteorologists aren't able to wear green for a television weathercast.
