In Boston all (I believe) all TV weatherpeople are meteorologists.
Even part timers are......David Epstein is on channel 5.

In many other markets, New York included, it is hit or miss
between a weatherperson reporting the weather or a meteorologist.

PS - Why won't channel 5 record an intro for Epstein instead of the
generic one they use?   He is on often enough.
