NBC reported on their national news broadcast tonight about the weather in California. Fail.
Screen capture from NBC national news broadcast Friday February 6, 2015. |
They got it partly right - "Heavy rain and strong winds through Monday."
But "up to 10-15" rain locally" no.
"No end in sight" no, Monday is the predicted end.
The name for this weather phenomena is "atmospheric river" or the non-technical term "pineapple express" but the term "deep tropical moisture plume" is vague.
And what is with the brown and green blobs on the weather map?
All this Al Roker/NBC weather reporting fail just as anchor Brian Williams is under scrutiny for his reporting.
I like Brian Williams as a news reader but NBC you are losing credibility for me.
