In 1965, Bob Dylan sang, "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows." How could he have known that one day weather reporting would be stripped from the grasp of meteorologists and instead entrusted to celebrities on the web? Maybe he was a prophet.

President Obama Reports the Weather

The President may not always have simple solutions to a harsh economic climate. Most other climates he has figured out though.

David Lynch Reports the Weather

With the director's daily video, you'll be assured that no matter what the season, the conditions will be pretty weird.
