Applicants would be expected to create an accurate 7-day forecast for Fargo and Tioga ND, and update/manage an online 7-Day forecast. Additionally, creating and loading multiple 30 second recorded forecast for Fargo, ND to a radio rotator to air on two radio stations throughout the weekend. Recordings will focus on the day at hand, tonight, and tomorrow plus the following day if time permitted.
