Weather Report 1 (easy)
This is CKNY and I'm Anita Pierce with
weather. We couldn't ask for a better day for the
first day
of Spring. Right now it's
fifteen degrees and clear. We're expecting blue
skies throughout the day.
Though
there
is
only
a
ten
percent
chance
of
showers,
this
good
weather
can't
last
forever.
It's
raining
cats
and
dogs
up
north,
so
we
should
see
rain
by
morning.
Don't
forget
your
umbrella
tomorrow. Now, stay
tuned for local news.
Weather Report 2
(medium)
Hi, I'm Jesse
Williams. This is your weekend weather report.
This morning we're seeing sun with
cloudy periods as well as a few
flurries. Right now I am at the top of Mount Raven
where it is plus
two and expected to
rise to about six degrees by noon. Overnight
temperatures will probably drop
to at
least minus seven. Tomorrow's forecast calls for
more flurries with a high of zero and a low
of minus twelve. With the
wind chill factor, that could put us at
a record low of minus twenty.
Conditions are perfect for skiing this
weekend, but if you're heading out to the slopes
tomorrow,
please remember to bundle up
to avoid frostbite. We'll go back to the newsroom
now for a look at
what's in sports.
Weather Report 3 (difficult)
Good morning, this is Alonzo Jacob with
your Monday weather report. The heatwave that
slowed
everybody
down
this
weekend
is
showing
no
signs
of
letting
up
this
week.
Our
meteorologists
suggest that
today's temperature could climb to as high as 40
degrees Celsius by the late afternoon.
Right now, only an hour after sunrise,
the temperature here at the airport is already 29
degrees.
However, there is relatively
no humidity in
the air, so
it feels quite comfortable out here at
the
moment. Unfortunately, there is
also no rain in the forecast for the next five
days. This is bad news
for the thirsty
forest fires that are raging across the interior
of our province. Looks like setting up a
tent
in
the
backyard
may
be
the
only
way
to
catch
some
sleep
tonight
if
you
don't
have
airconditioning. That's all for today's
weather. Stay tuned for the morning traffic
report.
