You call that a weather forecast?

Whew. Just came in from all that rain we’ve been having. NOT.

Tonight, Julie “It’s a wonder if I get the weather forecast right” Wunder blew off her (and her buddies’) botched weather reporting of the last couple of days by saying “we got lucky” that the rain stayed south.

“If you go outside on Memorial Day and it’s not raining, I can’t complain,” Julie told Scott on the 5:30.

Well, I can complain about the horrible, over-hyped weather reporting you do.

This after Jay Seltzer warned us that the “bottom would drop out” of the weekend weather. And after Candice Little told us to “get all our activities in” on Saturday, because Seltzer was prediciting a “total wash out.” And after Wunder Sunday night repeatedly warned everyone to “pack your umbrella” if you dared set foot outside on Memorial Day.

Hey, you got it totally wrong. Why not admit it?

Where I’m sitting in Ashvegas, I got a few showers Saturday night, but today was absolutely brillant.

Of course this is just par for the course with our local TV news station, at which “the weather” is constantly a big story. That’s because all they have to do is stick a camera out the window for some video and bingo, instant story.

My other peeve about the WLOS weather mavens is how the anchors speak to the weather sniffers as if they were God.

Darcel to Julie: “So Julie, what do you have for us today?”
Scott to Cuevas: “Mike, can you do anything about all this rain we’ve been having?”

NOTE to anchors: Your weather readers don’t control the weather. They can barely tell us what’s going to happen tomorrow, much less “do anything” about it.
