Weather Reporter Script

  > face camera:   “Some areas report sun”
             (Two places … and it was last month)
  > indicate current storm on the map:     “A break in the clouds is expected”
            (For sure … someday… maybe…. nope)
  > show cute picture of child holding rainbow umbrella:     “Oh look, a “sun-brella”
