Social media users are reacting to a viral clip of Ohio Meteorologist Britley Ritz making a seemingly suggestive joke on air while forecasting the weather.

Ritz, who works for WHIO TV 7, had been on the job forecasting the weather for the remainder of this week on Tuesday.

"Hey, I'm surprised that flag pole wasn't like bent over with the winds we had yesterday. I mean, I was bent over," said Ritz, before launching into temperatures across the state for the week.

"God forbid a woman have a hobby," said one user.

"Imagine just drinking your coffee and eating toast before headed to work and you hear this. this would get me through my day LMAOOO," someone commented.

"We're not gonna speed passed that like you ain't say that," wrote a fourth.
