Ben Bailey can't forecast worth a shit...

Post by MWmetalhead » Thu Mar 14, 2019 2:23 pm

For Yesterday - on the previous evening's newscast, he forecasted a high temp of 48 with rain lasting into midday and cloudy skies pretty much all day. Instead, we got nothing more than a tiny sprinkle, had plenty of partial sunshine in the afternoon, and it got all the way up to 58 at my house.

For Today - he was just RAVING about how high the temperatures were gonna get! He predicted 68 for Detroit Metro and 65 - 70 for most areas away from the riverfront / lakefront. Said we would see some party sunny skies in the midday & early afternoon hours . Well, it's been overcast for about 95% of the day and temps have gotten no higher than mid 50's. :lol

How does this guy keep his job?

I would just like to know who had the grand idea of four-zone weather maps.

They need to stop that nonsense.

Forecasting..... is just that. Never know what ya gonna get

I do love the robot voices. "This is KEC63 in White Lake..."

That’s really me it’s my new voice, I start at Wheels next week. Thanks to 40 years of smoking I think I finally perfected it.

The old male and female voices were better... the new one by itself lacks the charming mispronunciations...

All our happy little morning forecasters on the locals today called for brightening skies, and close to 50°. Epic fail! Lol...it’s been overcast and upper 30s/low 40s all day.
