It is made up bullshit for viewership. We got a snow a couple of weeks ago, and for a week prior, the local news would lead with "we could get up to 12 inches of snow!". Even the night before, when they had a good idea of what the system was doing. People around here freaking out because we never get snow. It was so dumb and obvious what they were doing.
