I just rolled my eyes when KRMG said "some places could get eight to twelve inches of rain". There's a reason people pick on weather men, with monikers like "Travis Liar", etc. Quit predicting amounts, and just say "some areas could experience heavy rains with flash flooding", or something along those lines. They typically get carried away, especially with snowfall amounts. We may well get a foot of rain - but I wouldn't bet a paycheck that my zip code will see anymore than an inch or two. If that.

Aaron Tuttle is fairly calm and is the only weather guy I have heard that does not use drama to bait folks.

And from what Tuttle forecasted yesterday, I think Tulsa is excluded from intense rain forecasted for OKC.

If they was so good at forecasting the weather they would quit their jobs and invest in the stock market and know exactly when to buy and sell to make the most profit.

Rule of thumb...

Forecast worst case scenario.

No one is upset if it doesn't happen if you're wrong. If it's worse than predicted, that's when you catch grief.

Pretty much what our local weather igits do every day.

They so remind me of 10th grades high school students in drama class.
