Is it man-soon season already?
A forecast for a major storm projected to penetrate the Southern US has viewers thinking the same thing — that a “hard” rain is about to fall.
According to the meteorological map by WDAM in Mississippi, severe weather is slated to pound the South over the weekend.
It’s part of a sinister system currently cutting a swath across the US, affecting over 100 million people and threatening powerful winds, giant hail, flooding and even tornadoes, Axios reported.
However, viewers couldn’t help but notice that this Mississippi storm in question, which was denoted in pink, had a decidedly not-safe-for-work shape.
“Looks like this storm is going to aggressively penetrate the Deep South. Stay alert,” quipped one X user while lampooning the phallic forecast.
Another wrote, “They’re going to get a VERY HARD rain.”
“I swear the guys that put together weather maps are 14-year-old boys at heart,” observed a third.
Meanwhile, one wit joked, “Balls deep, it would seem.”
“At least it will be wet,” said another. “Seriously though..be safe. This looks like it will be interesting.”
Despite the humorous shape, the storm itself may be no laughing matter.
According to Accuweather, the storms will bring a multiple-day rash of severe weather across the US Friday through Sunday, including thunderstorms capable of producing tornadoes over the Mississippi Valley this afternoon.
The thunderstorms themselves will reportedly span 1 million square miles and 30 states, potentially causing major power outages and travel disruptions.
Meanwhile, Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, and Tennessee will likely be pummeled by extreme weather systems Friday night.
Wind gusts of up to 85 mph are also forecast across the Midwest..
