Weather Forecaster: "Good morning, folks! Let's jump right into today's weather, shall we? It's, uh... well... Oh, it's a weather enthusiast's dream, I tell you!"

Weather Forecaster: "Oh, and what's this little surprise we have in store today? How about a, uh... a cute, a charming... biblical-scale frog situation!

[The Weather Forecaster sighs, giving the camera a resigned thumbs up.]
