While this might be a somewhat out-of-context statement (I don't know one way or the other), at face value, it's just outright embarrassing for the NWS. One would think that statements like this need to be reviewed by someone capable of finding such gaffes before they're disseminated. Is that too much to ask?

My quick take on the brief story that reporter Tom Beal filed online yesterday is that it reflected a cynical frustration with how little real information was conveyed during a fairly long briefing. He has filed an extended story this morning.
The firestorm of mostly nasty or negative comments in reponse to the brief story posted yesterday is a bit surprising - putting the NWS summer outlook up there with some controversial policy and political issues that always have comments galore of this type.
