What a HORRIBLE forecast by meteorologists – especially myself. Not only were we spectacularly wrong – we communicated poorly. It became apparent last night that some of our initial expectations would prove fallacious. I'd like to address what went wrong with our forecast:

The death toll has risen to 13, including 10 persons on the ground, with another 8+ people unaccounted for. The damage swath is approximately a half mile long.

A reminder to residents of the Deep South — this is what tornadoes today may look like. You see it? Me neither. But it’s barely four football fields away. That’s what happens when you have waterlogged storms, rain-wrapped circulations and a grungy airmass. Same thing today.

Ah yes — the May 30, 2025 Tall Timbers, Maryland tornado that NWS Sterling refused to confirm. (And yes, I said refused... there were emails, a phone call, etc.) Despite damage reports, video confirmation and a lengthy editorial, the tornado appears in no official database.

AccuWeather is doubling down, arguing the non-tropical nor’easter should have been named. It seems that meteorologists SHOULD understand why it wasn’t. As I say in my video, “I’m MyRadar senior meteorologist Matthew Cappucci. We’ll never BS you, because we’re better than that.”
