Jaever notice how often the Weather Channel gets it wrong?

Weather Channel weatherpeople confidently predicts the weather as if they know what will happen. Most of the time, and I mean 85 percent of the time, they get it all wrong.

They speak in such generalities. What does it mean to say "
30 percent chance of rain?" It means nothing except that it might rain and it might not.

Usually tomorrows weather will be more or less like today's.

Not only that but TWC usually over-hypes any storm system while the local guys keep their cool and are usually more accurate.

The weather channel people talk like their audience is a bunch of three year olds. When they start to get off the script and make jokes I hit the mute button because it is embarrassing to listen. I think they would get a bigger audience if they just had some robot voice repeating the forecast.
