When'll they start closing local schools? A source tells me NDSU has activated their < dramatic intro here: bah-buh-BAH! > WET -- Weather Event Team* -- to track the weather and its potential impacts on finals week. NDSU ... we always knew, they're all WET. *My guess? They monitor UND's Atmospheric Sciences skycam for updates and keep refreshing weather.gov/fgf .

The problem is, when your forecasts don't pan out, people will be reluctant to believe you the next time.....and you may nail it on the head the next time. KVLY is the worst when it comes to hyping weather beyond what is reasonable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Wheely is TV, and yes, if he says duck you duck.) The guys doing WDAY-AM weather don't seem to be hype-mongers (but they have their LRC thing they're bought into). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every warning issued in one of those watches needs to be taken seriously. But those watches are rare in this region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A tornado warning now means next to nothing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather was much worse Valentines Day night into the next morning. How can our local weather crew promote constant apocalyptic doomsday forecasts and be wrong 50% of the time?

Forecast for FM area Monday night 1". Yesterday morning 1-3". 9+" already in south Fargo.
