I think the main problem people have with
some mets is the extremely confident verbiage they use. For example, three days ago there were Houston mets saying Beryl
will be a South Texas storm. Five days ago, Beryl
will be hitting Brownsville. Pro met or not, I don’t agree with the usage of that verbiage. Travis does an EXCELLENT job of not doing this, and at the same time, doesn’t instill fear into viewers/Facebook followers. Travis is good about saying a storm is
expected to do x, but things could change due to the situation being fluid. Just my two cents.

SCW screwed up bad. About four days ago they said it may results in some rain and wrote it off. Even yesterday said impacts manageable and now this morning saying significant impacts with likely heavy power outages.
Big whiff
SETX mets took a big whiff as well, told everyone we were goooood and it was going to mexico/southern texas just before july 4th, no one is thinking about this storm, until now.....
Interesting enough. Travis Herzog continued to talk about how it was going to be able to potentially turn and head our way. Many of the other meteorologists in Houston did not say that, but he was constantly saying that. I feel like he had the best handle on the potential for a Houston landfall.
