Shit ton of hail here yesterday, peoples windows (house and car) are blown out everywhere across the city and there are still places where the rain pooled the hail into 3-4 foot deep ice blocks

Also headed up to the Trump rally today, let's see if I end up getting thrown out or pepper sprayed

Hiphop sounds like something kids that believe in the Easter Bunny listen to.

Is it unacceptable for meteorologists to just say "we have no fucking clue, but you should be prepared for _______"?

Few days back, before the worst hail in the history of this city (by both anecdotal and damage sums) they said there was a minimal hail threat not even an hour before the storm blew up. Today they forecasted a high of 70, cloudy all day. It's sunny as fuck and it's 85 and still climbing. I'd be completely fine with "We don't think there will be hail but be prepared to have your car totaled if it really blows up" or "It looks like it shouldn't be hot today but the temperature could skyrocket if the clouds don't set up so don't plan all out outdoor shit today on account of us"

Granted I'm an hour and a half away from you, but that forecast is pretty damn accurate here. Cloudy and 72 right now.

They should be required to warn you about every potential outcome. Today, it could be sunny, it could be cloudy, expect anything from no rain or light rain to torrential downpours and flash flooding. It will be calm to windy, potential heat advisory and possible frost warning, Tornadoes, earthquakes, Tsunamis are all possible.

Context dude. What they mean is that 60% of you are getting wet today. The other 40% can have yerself a party and watch the rest get hammered with hail.
