Marty Bass is indeed terrible at his job. Truly.

Also, it is flat pouring in downtown Baltimore.

The Baltimore TV market is loaded with terrible on air mets.  There's only two I like: Adrienne Green (went to school with her) and Mike Taylor from ABC 2...both are sharp.  The DC market is pretty mehtasitc, but Doug K is okay during a big event.

Marty Bass is the worst on air met I've ever seen.  This isn't even remotely true.  No flood watch, it's a flash flood warning.  No wonder why people have a bad impression of this field:  

 

He's not a met.  I suppose he is consider a "forecaster" and he meets the needs of those watching TV for weather, but I much prefer coming here for my info.

Clearly...it's like when WBAL uses the RPM or AWR model for snow in the winter.  Bottom of the barrel 'talent' there.

I actually only really watch WBAL. I find ABC2 and WJZ news just terrible in general. I like Tommy T and Ava. Collins used to be ok but I feel like he's washed up now and not on very often anyway.

Why would anyone here waste one second of time watching an on air "met".

 

Marty Bass...ugh what a colossal embarrassment. Hard to believe he is still around.

At work we have local news on in the background all the time as a situational awareness mechanism.  It's cringeworthy to watch the on air mets most days...like rubbing lemons in your eyes.

Was in Stephens City proper, today. I can report it was MUCH drier than most areas in Va I have been through the past week. Even my yard is still wet-ish from recent rains. I think that Big mountain in the distance that stand out south toward Front Royal robs the moisture. Who knows. Ha!!! Epz Land is a desert.
