Weatherman predicts the end-times

Here's a weather report for the apocalypse: "On WTVR CBS 6 in Richmond, VA, weatherman Aaron Justus provides the last weather forecast you'll ever need."

Hot Weather in Richmond this Weekend (Thanks, Fipi Lele!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

  That’s right. I have it on good authority that they all are.

A zombie front could push in just after Godzilla.
- Andrew Singleton
  
  Incorrect. Godzilla is why the zombie front collapsed in Kansas rather than pushing all the way to the west coast as last week’s predictions put it.
  
  Not sure if we need to still worry about the Giant Robots that have been massing in Japan for the past… oh… fifty years.

Was this actually broadcast? I love you, insane weather guy!
- solid_ekans
  
  Used to work in local tv. If it was broadcast, I bet it was early morning like the first 5 a.m. hour weather cast. Also could be late night. Like 10:59.
  I don’t see a video watermark or station id in the lower corner. I think that’s the greatest evidence that shows it was just whipped up as a joke. I’d imagine the studio crew was in on it.

  Done as a joke on his last day at the station. Here’s the whole story:

Just looks like typical summer weather, this year.

A bit more accurate than our local weather forecasters, and much more serious delivery. A+.

It might not be the most useful forecast, but if any of my local stations did this, I’d watch regularly.

  I used to give weather forecasts on my dates.

Deflected by a Godzilla?

  Son of Godzilla is off camping with Mothra.
  
  Have you not benn keeping up?!
  - 10xor01
    
    Apparently not. I’m still worried about the imminent invasion of Africanized bees.
    - Won Word
      
      Heh. Well, I hope those bees like Kudzu, because we’re totally overrun here.

ALL HAIL the FSM, who, in His Noodley Goodness, DID NOT ALLOW the volcano, epic storm, AND Godzilla to strike down the godless bible-belt crazies in the greater Virginia / Chesapeake Bay areas.
Bless Him and his Noodley Goodness.

This made my day. “We may be looking at 1….maybe two hundred inches of rain.”
