Fox Sports NFL sideline reporter Erin Andrews is dealing with some major backlash over a report she gave.
According to WBAY’s hourly forecast, it was supposed to be 52 degrees with an 83 percent chance of rain before the Packers and Lions kicked off.
The chances of rain were said to increase to 98 percent at 4 p.m., 99 percent at 5 p.m., and 93 percent at 6 p.m. There was also said to be a southeast wind at about 15 mph.
During the game, Erin Andrews came dressed for the wet and wild game and gave the weather information that she had on Fox.
However, it appears that the things that she stated were completely made up.
Meteorologist Sam Kuffel took to X and called her out for “making up” weather alerts on Sunday. Kuffel’s anger was believed to have stemmed from Andrews’ report that there were 43 mile per hour winds with the change of thunder and lightning.
“Begging Erin Andrews to stop making up weather alerts,” she wrote.

“Stuff like this makes me irrationally angry.”
Kuffel was also upset about Erin Andrews stating how wind speeds would be up to 43 MPH and possible thunder and lightning.
As for the game she was reporting on, Jared Goff completed 18-of-22 passes for 145 yards and a touchdown in the Lions’ 24-14 win over the Packers.
Jordan Love went 23 of 39 for 273 yards without a touchdown pass in a losing effort.
Andrews has been with Fox Sports since 2012 and serves as the network’s lead sideline reporter.

Erin Andrews Once Admitted To Making Up Sideline Reports
Fox Sports NFL sideline reporter Erin Andrews has been down this road before, where she has been accused of making up reports.
Years ago, during an episode of Andrews’s and Thompson’s Calm Down podcast, Andrews told Thompson that she fabricated information once before as a sideline reporter.
She did not receive backlash for her statements, but Thompson faced a firestorm of backlash when she admitted them.
After Thompson’s confession sparked backlash, Andrews spokeswoman Jill Fritzo attempted to dispel any notion of misconduct by her client.
“For her entire career, Erin Andrews has worked very closely with coaches, players and P.R. staffs to ensure accuracy in her reporting,” Fritzo told The New York Times.
