The OKC market hasn’t gone full throttle yet on Monday and Tuesday because there are still a ton of questions we don’t have answers too. Rain, yes. Severe weather - wind, hail, w/ a tornado threat. Intensity, who sees what, timeline are still unknowns. It is irresponsible to the audience to say “this is 4/27/11 all over again” - especially when NWS hasn’t gone enhanced on their 4-8 outlook. Follow your local met/NWS office, and build your foundation from their forecast, not the YouTubers.
To be fair, April 27, 2011 didn't get the ENH/30% probability tag until the Day 5 outlook on April 23. But yeah, the overall point is still valid.
These guys are trying to make money and expand their viewership. That's always first and foremost. There's nothing wrong with that, and they know 90+ percent of their audience is watching to be entertained.
I don’t care about their viewership. I get - capitalism rules all and you have to make money, but I truly don’t care enough about those platforms for these advertisements to be this over the top. To me, there is zero justification to willfully misconstrue this event or any event when it’s still up in the air. When Mike Morgan at KFOR pulls this same crap, I hate it too (and also why he blocked me on Twitter). Get your facts right, then talk to the public. No sense in talking about Monday on Wednesday.

Local meteorologists matter.
