Well… I guess he’s still part time…. Very cool.

I'll have to watch now at 10p or 11p tonight. Always good seeing him.
I get that late 80’s TV Weather vibe watching him… kinda wish we had more like that still around to be honest. I know he’s been around forever but does anyone know when he started in the market? I know it goes back as far as 2 being a CBS affiliate…

Wood TV said that Wed wasn't going to be a sure thing with the severe thunderstorms thought it could be a bust on the west side of the state it was a bust other than the rain & the thunderstorms and the future cast did show that the line was going to bow out in the central and east side of the state. Glad that the east side didn't get late night/early morning thunderstorms I was glad that they weakened when they came in other the border of MI/IN that looked pretty nasty they did issue a warning on the border and Van Buren County. The rain & storms stopped at around 3AM or 3:30AM more lighting than thunder which wasn't all that loud.

WWMT was right that the storms would be coming in around 12AM late last night/early morning on Sat Wood did give short updates when the storms came in on the border & Van Buren County the others followed on Van Buren as well other than WWMT they didn't cut in like the others did at 12AM. I was kinda surprised that NWS didn't issue the watch say at 10PM or 11PM that they waited until 12AM to issue the watch. Does that come from the local NWS office or does the watch get issued in Norman OK? I know warnings come from the local NWS office.

Amazes me the second wave of storms dissipated even though most stations said it was a “sure thing”.

It’s science ….. but also it’s “educated guesswork based on computer models”.

So…. Loved when they would go “we are the most accurate—— GUARANTEED!”

Honestly, the people who did the best at not overhyping the storm was the Michigan Weather Authority Facebook group. They along with the storm prediction center said last Wednesday was enhanced risk with likely tornadoes(1 or 2), and we had 2. They said a slight risk for Friday into Saturday morning with heavy rain.
They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.

All week the folks at 2, 4, 7 have been calling for sunny or partly cloudy skies today.

I’ve seen nothing but thick clouds all day. With all of the moisture in the air the last several days, it’s not a surprise that they are wrong.

We had an abnornally sunny stretch for the Nov. 1 - Dec. 21 time period. Looks like that is just a memory now…

I was thinking the same thing. Every day since Monday they have said "It's gonna be nice tomorrow".

CBS seems to be the only one that got it right. They've had clouds for today since Monday.
You may want to stop watching the legacy stations.
I do wish our mets here did better with timing like the others however.

It seems to happen frequently this time of the year. We get a lot of overly optimistic forecasts in terms of sun.

For tomorrow, I bet we won’t get more than an hour or two of sun at sunrise, then get into thick clouds by noon.

Where is this heavy snow our local stations have been hyping? So far it's just rain and wet pavement at least Downriver and western Wayne.

WJR is still pushing heavy snow as I type this. Renee Vitale obviously just rips and reads.
