Virginia forecast: Cloudy with a chance of monsters

If you’re going to be in Virginia this week, keep your camera handy.

Meteorologist Aaron Justus of Richmond CBS affiliate WTVR detailed quite a forecast, including “one to 200 inches of rainfall, wind gusts up to 1,000 miles per hour” — and Godzilla. It was a response to Fake NBC12, a parody Twitter account, and those folks bowed to the CBS crew’s creativity:

The fine women and men @cbs6 have proven us amateurs at fake news. The last weather forecast you'll ever need: http://t.co/mMBPId5L

The Twitter response was universally positive.

This weeks weather? Cloudy with a chance of Godzilla! http://t.co/4qHNHkQ2 Seems legit to me.

I was looking at the weather forecast. We'll have a volcano on Monday, global super storm on Tuesday, and a Godzilla attack on Wednesday.

Wear your fireproof work clothes, everyone. At least the weekend looks good.
