A Minnesota meteorologist has become an unexpected internet sensation after a private weather note intended for a colleague was accidentally broadcast to viewers.
The hilarious blunder occurred during a live weather segment, when the meteorologist, whose name has not been disclosed, meant to send a text message to a fellow weather expert. Instead, the message appeared on-screen for all to see.
The text read: "This is the worst weather pattern I've ever seen. Can't believe we're dealing with this nonsense."
Viewers quickly took to social media to share screenshots of the on-air gaffe, with many praising the meteorologist's unfiltered honesty about the challenging weather conditions.
Local news stations have since reported that the meteorologist has acknowledged the mistake with good humour, stating that while the message wasn't meant for public viewing, the sentiment behind it was genuine given the particularly difficult weather system affecting the region.
This incident serves as a reminder of the challenges live broadcasters face in the digital age, where one wrong click can turn a private thought into public entertainment.
