Next the Texas map will appear with current temperatures around the state.	The Texas map serves as cue for the forecaster to appear on camera. He or she should stay in the box marked on the floor and can see the map in either a TV monitor or the studio camera (1).
Immediately following the Texas temps is a graphic for national temperatures highlighting certain major cities.	The forecast map comes next. Here the weather forecaster must highlight expected weather conditions for the following day.  When he or she has no more to say, it's time to return to the news desk with the anchors.	While the forecaster gets into position at the news desk, a full-screen graphic is shown of the three-day outlook for San Marcos.  The forecaster describes expected local conditions while walking.
