Default an improvement to TV weather news broadcasts-- daily lows and daily highs

The trouble is that the graphics mostly commonly used confuses people.
They have a graphic forecast for 7 days in advance in which they
estimate the high and low for the next 7 days. The trouble is that they
show the "high" first and then the "low" below. But herein lies the
trouble. We all know that the high usually comes around midday whereas
the low usually already came earlier in that day, just before dawn.

So the confusion is that the graphics gives the low for the previous
day, or the viewer is mislead.

To correct this graphical problem, simply just state the "low" first
and below the low give the "high". Most TV weather reports give the
"high" first and then incidently give the low below. But since our
daily lives experience sequentally the morning first, and then midday
later on, so too, the TV weather graphics should display the "low"
first and then the "high" next.

So I wonder if any TV weather news cast does this properly, or does
everyone on TV news all have their forecasts lousy display.
