The problem is that Tom Skilling used to create it own slides. And they were always a mess becuse they standard graphics package doesnt allow him to pack all the data he likes to use.. The  other WGN meteorologists stick with the graphics package. And they look nothing like that.  Tom is the highest paid local meteorologist in the US and he is given a lot of leeway to do what he want. The sad part is its clear he isnt a graphic artist, so his "slides" were always a mess. Really bad powerpoint presentations almost. These bad examples are unique to Tom Skilling only and cant be blamed on anyone else.

Skilling's forecasts are now updated to the new template - looks much nicer than his previous attempt!

Interesting to hear Skilling did the graphics himself - I'd imagine the highest paid people don't want to get their hands dirty on simpler tasks
