Raining on His Parade

FTVLive got an email from a Meteorologist who was calling out WKYT’s (Lexington) Chief Met for a social media post.

Here’s the email:

The Chief Meteorologist at WKYT in Lexington doesn’t seem to have a basic knowledge of meteorology and/or radar. 

He is choosing two different radars, one of which is too far away to get a proper scan of the rain/rain totals. The closer radar has the clear view, and that is why that is the one that should be used. It’s like saying the radar in Tampa, Florida, isn’t picking up rain totals in Jacksonville. No shit… choose the right radar.

He was called out by a meteorologist at NWS, and has since deleted his tweet.
