Music for the local forecasts comes mostly from commercially available music published with BMI. Tracks from the albums of popular jazz fusion artists such as David Benoit, Trammell Starks, The Rippingtons, Spyro Gyra, St. Germain, and the Yellowjackets have been used as local forecast music in the past. Ryan Farish, Pat Metheny, Boney James, Charles Mingus, and Nestor Torres are some of the artists whose music is currently used on a regular basis for the local forecasts. The Weather Channel has also played music from the band Phish, The Allman Brothers, Pink Floyd, Cannibal Corpse, jazz legend Herbie Hancock, and famed guitarist Eric Clapton.
Lewis Black and John Salley have both done The Weather Channel's "Celebrity Forecast". Heather Tesch tells Marshall Seese what color clothing she is wearing the next day, and Marshall tries to wear a tie of a matching color.
