Weather Forecasting Errors

Ever seen a weather map gone wrong, a weatherman messing and mixing his/her lines? If you've seen or been in some weather gone wrong, post here!! :cheesy: :ggreen:

Here are some of my instances:

1. One weather map from my local news station said Austin, TX was going to be 279F, and all surrounding cities had temperatures 200F+

2. National maps from the NOAA stated Tropical Storm Alex (Later hurricane) was a hurricane, meaning they ignored their own analysis on Alex and went forward and upgraded Alex on the national maps.

3. The Weather Channel's 3-day forecast bar that was supposed to be on the bottom of the screen was in the middle, effectively covering Stephanie Abrams and Mike Bettes.

According to TWC it was 32 at Philly international in the middle of August a few years ago.
