Daily Life ‐ Weather Report (C0266) 
A: Those are today’s top stories. Now let’s go to John for
the weather. John, what does the forecast look like for our
weekend travelers?
B: I’m afraid we’re in for a rough weekend, Mark. There
is a storm system moving through the East Coast. It will be
drizzling all day today, and there’s a 60 percent chance of
thunderstorms this evening. It will be warm and humid all
weekend. In the Midwest, expect strong winds and a low
of around 40 degrees.
A: That’s pretty chilly for the summer! Will it rain on
Saturday?
B: Unfortunately, yes. It will be clear early Saturday
morning but there is a high chance of showers and
78
thunderstorms later in the day. There is a severe
thunderstorm warning for some parts of the Southeast.
Folks in those areas might see some hail and flooding,
especially in areas that have been experiencing record high
rainfalls.
A: That certainly sounds like a dreary Saturday.
B: It gets better on Sunday, though. The storm systems
move east and the skies will clear up at night. It will still
be rather cool, with highs in the low 50s. The West Coast
will be experiencing some unusually chilly weather, but at
least the sun will come out. I advise weekend travelers to
be careful, especially while driving. Back to you, Mark.
A: Thanks John, and there you have it! Looks like it’s a
weekend to stay at home!
