Sunny through midweek but more heavy rain and storms this weekend

WVTM 13 News Station Jason Simpson Tuesday, 06 February 2024 04:10
  • Unique Points
    • The next soaking rain begins as early as Friday
    • Heavier rain sets in for Saturday, making outdoor activities difficult if not impossible
  • Accuracy
    • Alabama's weather looks better and better through midweek
    • Light, scattered showers will begin on Friday morning and last all day and night
  • Deception (50%)
    The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that 'Alabama's weather looks better and better through midweek', but this statement is not supported by the data provided. In fact, temperatures fall to the 30s and lower 40s early Tuesday morning, which does not look particularly good for anyone who lives in Alabama. Secondly, it states that 'light, scattered showers will begin as early as Friday morning', but this statement is also unsupported by the data provided. In fact, heavy rain sets in for Saturday and could be a total wash out of a day. Thirdly, it states that 'Both weekend days feature humid, mild days in the 60s', but this statement is not supported by the data provided either. In fact, temperatures get milder in the afternoon on Friday and heavier rain sets in for Saturday.
    • The article claims that light scattered showers will begin on Friday morning but heavy rain sets in for Saturday which could be a total wash out of a day.
    • The article claims that Alabama's weather looks better through midweek when it states 'Temperatures fall to the 30s and lower 40s early Tuesday morning'. However, this is not supported by data as temperatures are actually falling below freezing.
  • Fallacies (85%)
    The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that the weather will be mild and sunny through midweek without providing any evidence or expert opinion to support this claim. Additionally, the author makes a false dilemma by presenting only two options for weekend weather: rainy or dry, when in reality there are many different levels of precipitation possible. The article also contains an example of inflammatory rhetoric with phrases such as 'pesky hit-or-miss rain' and 'total wash out'.

    • The author makes a false dilemma by presenting only two options for weekend weather: rainy or dry, when in reality there are many different levels of precipitation possible.
  • Bias (85%)
    The article contains a statement that implies the weather will be mild and sunny through midweek. However, it also mentions that rain is expected to begin as early as Friday and last all day and night on Saturday. This contradicts the initial statement about mild weather.

      • Bias (85%)
        The author has a monetary bias as they are reporting on the weather forecast for Central Alabama. The article mentions that long-range forecast models have continued advertising a switch from above normal temperatures to below normal temperatures later this month and suggests nearly all long-range and climate modeling suggest the below normal temperatures will be with us through at least the first two weeks of March. This implies that there is an economic interest in reporting on weather patterns, as it may affect agriculture, tourism, or other industries.
