Here are two great articles from Paul Kyber of the Times-Dispatch. They provide a summary of the back story to my viral video. Thanks for the interview!

REGARDING MY OUTRAGEOUS FORECAST
I'm seriously flattered by the popularity of my video on Youtube. I'm glad that so many people have found it funny! As you can imagine, I've received several emails asking me about the video, so I decided to write this blog post to clear up few things.
This video was never on air. It was part of an ongoing joke between me and the production crew. During commercial breaks, I would show these graphics (like the volcano and the coyote) to entertain my coworkers. It wasn't until my last day of work (June 26, 2011) that I decided to throw it all together into one ridiculous weathercast. Surprisingly, it only took me three tries to get through the entire weathercast without laughing.
The daily grind of TV finally wore me down, which is why I decided to change careers and enter the brewing industry. I attended the American Brewers Guild and moved to San Diego, CA. I am now a brewer at Ballast Point Brewing and Spirits.
I hope to have more updates on this blog soon! In addition, if you have any other questions, you can contact me at ajjustus@hotmail.com.
Cheers!
