* clickbait weather

"you might not have been expecting this, but..."

a weather system (that won't develop into one) could have (or might-have) been named -- if it was going to be what it isn't, so you'd better stay tuned because there are all kinds of things that might happen (but won't) but could... and we are here to keep you up to date (so long as you keep clicking).

remember... millions upon millions (or even billions) could potentially be affected (or could have maybe been potentially affected) if this "outlook" was anything more than us, making (man-u-facture-ing) the news.

jesus.  they have no shame.
