I kid you not. This was behind a “severe weather alert” tag on my homepage.

200 PM MST MON FEB 2 2009…A PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM EXPECTED TO BRING A CHANCE OF VALLEY RAIN
AND MOUNTAIN SNOW ALONG WITH COOLER TEMPERATURES THIS WEEKEND…STRONG HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL CONTINUE TO BRING VERY WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS TO SOUTHEAST ARIZONA THROUGH THURSDAY. THE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN AND MOVE EAST OF THE AREA DURING THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEK. THEREAFTER…UNSETTLED CONDITIONS ARE ON TAP THIS WEEKEND AS A PACIFIC LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING A CHANCE OF VALLEY RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW ALONG WITH NOTICEABLY COOLER DAYTIME TEMPERATURES.
PERSONS WITH OUTDOOR INTERESTS THIS WEEKEND SHOULD TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE TO THE ANTICIPATED CHANGE IN WEATHER CONDITIONS.
I think the Arizona staff are jealous of the weathermen for back east.

AZ weatherdude2: “Hey, I know! *giggle* Let’s put out a severe weather alert!”
AZWD1: *giggle* “You’re so bad!”
