The Weather Idioms Gal

Good morning, folks, welcome to my show. Come rain or shine, I’ll tell you what you need to know. Up north it’s raining cats and dogs; even farther up toward the border there’s brewing a storm in a teacup. But it will be lightening fast, yes, just a tease. And after it has passed, everything will be a breeze. In the central area, they’ll be chasing rainbows. Not to steal the anchorman's thunder, that’s just how it goes. Down south, they’ll take a rain check on the rain. Incidentally, our governor is a weather vane! My head may be in the clouds, but I predict tomorrow will be fine. In fact, divine; in every region we’ll be on cloud nine. March came in like a lamb, so I predict it goes out like a lion. Tie your things down well; in the wind they may be flyin'. March 19, 2022 For Matt Caliri's You're A Weather Forecaster Poetry Contest

This weather girl is quite the poet, I see. I would enjoy listening to this in front of the green screen. Our weatherman dances back and forth like he's on roller skates, and he's wrong more than he's right.
