Sun Shines on Matt Zaffino

To be fair and balanced, I'd like to point out that Matt Zaffino does occasionally get the weather right from time to time. He's an educated man who has done relatively well at holding down jobs at various television stations. He can't be wrong all the time. So here's to Matt Zaffino for correctly predicting it was going to be hot. In the valley. In July.

Now that I write it down, that forecast doesn't seem quite as amazing as it did in my head. I'm pretty sure I could have forecasted that one. I'm pretty sure that Molly did forecast that. It's July. It's been hot three weeks in a row. I wonder what the weather will be like tomorrow? I'll put down hot and hope it's close.

I'm starting to wonder if Matt Zaffino is actually on vacation. It would be hard to tell the difference. He could have mailed in a month's worth of little sunshines labeled "hot", "very hot", "warm" and random numbers between 85 and 101. He'd have about as much chance of being right as his regular predictions. But then there would be the predicament of who would write the witty insights they publish next to his head shot? It's not like you can leave that kind of responsibility to Bruce Sussman.

No, Matt Zaffino is definitely at the head of the weather desk. And he got one right. So, congratulations Matt Zaffino. You've earned it.
