Similar to weather forecasting, but either a news source (company or individual) twists the forecast of a severe storm into a worst case scenario. This usually occurs well before a storm forecast has been solidly determined.
Person 1: The weather forecast on the news is saying Hurricane Irma is the next Harvey, and it's going to hit Charleston, SC.
Person 2: Irma is still a week away from landfall. It sounds like they're scarecasting. Don't believe everything you hear.

Get the Scarcasam mug.A comment that has hidden sarcasm, but sounds positive. Often used by someone losing but makes a comment that may on appearance appear that opposite is happening. For example a player might say "this team is truly awesome," or "great battle"... even though this players team is being pummeled and is behind 46 to zero. Basically hiding the scars of defeat.
Bob exclaimed "victory, victory, victory" even though his team lost 25-0... now thats some great scarcasm
