Will those weather forecasters ever get it right (lol)

Good morning, folks...John Doe here Live- from Channel WXYZ-TV Bringing you today and tomorrow's weather forecast... And how the weekend's weather just might be Saturday morning starts off very nice Sunny and warm with the high around thirty-one Mixed with some rain and a possible chance of snow A good day to go out and have some fun More sunshine in the early afternoon With thickening clouds heading our way A beautiful day for a picnic party, possibly Or...a boat ride on the bay The sun returns by mid to late evening... With a chance of a severe thunderstorm A wintry mix of sleet and hail- maybe, possibly Right on key with today's norm Tomorrow's forecast looks a little better With a fifty percent chance of weather... And the low around thirty-one You just might see a floating feather Hoping you all have a safe, warm, cool weekend Enjoy your picnics, or boat rides on the sea John Doe, here...

Weather forecasters are a joke Charlie, and you bring the humor to the fore in this very charming poem. Good luck in the contest my friend, Hugs, blessings, Jennifer.

This is too cute and funny Charles. Just love it. Here in Alberta the weather is so changeable that there is a long running joke that goes "If you don't like the weather --- wait a minute." Very clever write my friend. God Bless, JB

This is so very imaginative and entertaining, Charles ! The formal address is very appropriate and the predictions sound very studied. You are likely to get posted as a weather forecaster, if you prefer ! All the Best in the contest !

Sometimes I am actually thrilled that they get it wrong. I planned a huge outdoor baby shower for my sister once, all the family and some friends were invited to celebrate her miracle baby. The weather was always great that time of year, but he said a severe storm was heading our way for the big day. I decided he was wrong, prayed....begged God he was wrong. It was a beautiful sunny day, not a cloud in sight I'm glad I didn't cancel the big party :D Your poem was fun, love it! :) Great job!!

You got it, Charlie. I wouldn't put a weatherman near a hammer and a nail. That's for sure. Tonight's low - 39; tomorrow's hi - whenever I get up. ~ Al Sleet here, your hippy-dippy weatherman

Hello Charles messina, these weathermen and ladies sometimes do not get the weather right. I keep saying to the air , these people need a window to look out and see that they predicted the weather wrong. Glad to see you back. Enjoy your evening my friend.
