Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBrock, Kenji, give me one hot take each.
Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistThe word ever-chaotic is a forecast, and nobody has ever been wrong with that one.
Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistIt's a hundred percent chance of scattered mayhem, every Saturday, forever.
