Erin Andrews called out by meteorologist for ‘making up weather alerts’

Not everyone was impressed with Erin Andrews’ game-day forecast.

When covering the Lions-Packers game from a rainy Lambeau Field in Green Bay on Sunday, the Fox Sports sideline reporter was called out on X by Milwaukee-based meteorologist Sam Kuffel of CBS 58 for “making up weather alerts.”

“Begging Erin Andrews to stop making up weather alerts,” Kuffel posted, adding in a follow-up message that “stuff like this makes me irrationally angry.”

An X user then joined the pile-on, writing, “And 43 mph?! Specifically,” to which Kuffel wrote, “Right?!?!”

The forecast in Green Bay on Sunday projected rain and winds between 15 to 25 mph, according to The Weather Channel.

Moments after the Lions secured the 24-14 victory over their longtime rival, Andrews, 46, spoke about the conditions with Detroit quarterback Jared Goff.

“Mᴀssive wind gusts, rain going sideways, [defensive coordinator] Aaron Glenn couldn’t see out of his glᴀsses, tell me what it was like playing in this,” she remarked to Goff during the exchange.

Despite the less-than-ideal weather conditions, the Lions improved to 7-1 while the Packers fell to 6-3 in the sloppy outing.

The social media call-out Sunday comes about a year after her spokesperson clarified Andrews’ past comments of embellishing reports.

The controversy stemmed from remarks made by Andrews’ “Calm Down” podcast co-host, Charissa Thompson, who revealed she’d “make up” reports during her time as a sideline reporter. Thompson later apologized.

“For her entire career, Erin Andrews has worked very closely with coaches, players and P.R. staffs to ensure accuracy in her reporting,” Andrews’ spokesperson, Jill Fritzo, told The New York Times.

Andrews has been at Fox since 2012 after departing ESPN.

She is part of Fox’s lead team that features Kevin Burkhardt and rookie analyst Tom Brady.
