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'.

So Andrea.. You have the same saying in Like a Lion out like a Lamb.' But then it's Mostly English based in the US and Aus/Nz Yet you don't hear it there, but it's the Southern Hemisphere so the seasons are different.' Be well best best best of wishes '

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.
