If you follow this line of thinking then I suspect you won't ever watch another TV meteorologist(??)
If you don't want hype, and most of us don't, as stated earlier just use the wealth of information available from the NWS offices in Gray, Maine and Boston. Their technical discussions are second to none on what might or might not happen. No hype and no ad revenue or ratings to worry about.
The links to each office are below.
For the record, IMHO, the Boston TV Market (#7 in the country) has two or three of the best meteorologists in the country. We are very lucky in that sense and those of us who really follow the weather and it's science appreciate them.
