Matt Zaffino Incorrectly Forecasts the Apocalypse

I was shocked when I opened up the weather page this morning. The picture of today's forecast was disturbing. There was some huge funnel cloud with lighting and rain coming from it. It looked like the final scene of Ghostbusters. Could it be true? Was Matt Zaffino really predicting the world would end today? The forecast said "t-storms", but that's only because Matt Zaffino didn't know how to spell apocalypse. I'm surprised Matt Zaffino's little picture of Portland didn't show four tiny horsemen coming out of the KOIN tower.

Matt Zaffino's write up was about warm air here and cold air there. Nice work trying to fool us all with your scientific mumbo jumbo to explain the end of the world. Maybe no one told you in meteorology school, Matt Zaffino, but that degree doesn't give you the power to predict the future. Maybe all meteorology degrees come with a theology minor by default. Then there's Matt Zaffino's smiling mug. "Apocalypse today, rain tomorrow. Don't make big plans everyone. Ha ha."

Today was overcast and pleasant. No plagues or locusts anywhere. Wrong again Matt Zaffino.
