Breakfast weather man makes hilarious gaffe as he forecasts snow storm heading to Cornwall…but can you spot why?
Eagle-eyed social media warned presenter Matt Taylor to 'be careful where his hand is going'
COULD it be rain? Could it be snow? Either way, this storm looks pretty pleased to see the South West.
BBC weatherman Matt Taylor seemed to be none the wiser as he forecast the huge penis shaped snow storm which was making its way across Devon and towards Cornwall this morning.
Eagle-eyed social media users spotted the suspicious shaped weather system on BBC Breakfast at 6.45am.
Twitter user DaveinNorwich posted a picture of the cheeky moment with the caption: "Matt needs to be careful where his hand is going! That's one interesting weather feature over Devon!"
It's not the first time the BBC has predicted a willy-shaped storm heading towards the South West of the country.

“Through tonight there is a real ice risk with showers during the day and then turning cold overnight the water freezes with a high risk of ice.”
The meteorologist went on to say that drivers should be on the look out for ice with warnings out across the country.
He said: “We currently have an ice warning out and that is expected to continue across tonight and the weekend mainly in western parts of the UK but it will be a very cold night across the country with lows of -6C and -7C.
