UNIT 5 THE WEATHER FORECAST PART 1 And now, over to Barry with our weather forecast for this weekend. How's it looking for this weekend, Barry? Speaking for myself, I know I'm looking forward to clear skies. The past two weeks have been even rainier than usual for Seattle. Well, Sue, residents of Seattle will be happy to hear that this rainy spell we've been having is finally coming to an end. Although we've seen occasional showers today, by tonight things should dry out and Friday morning should be clear and sunny. This fine weather should continue until the end of the weekend, with temperatures ranging from 55 to 75 degrees, so everyone can put away those umbrellas. Back to you, Sue. Thank you, Barry. On behalf of the Thursday 6 o'clock news team, we wish you a pleasant evening. PART 2 Did you hear the weather report, Jenny? It looks like it'll be a clear weekend after all, so we won't have to cancel our trip to the lake. That's almost unbelievable. I'm really looking forward to getting out of the city and camping under the stars. But we'd better get our stuff ready tonight, Paul, if we're planning to leave tomorrow right after work. Yes, we'll need our tent, sleeping bags, camping stove, and a cooler for the drinks. What about food? Let's stop at a store and pick up some groceries on the way out. Sounds good. Well, we'd better get packing if we want to be ready to go by 5 p.m. tomorrow.
