Reading of the passage
A weatherman is giving the weekend forecast on the TV evening news:
...It's still raining here in Chicago, and it looks like that rain is going to continue through the weekend. It'll be cloudy tomorrow with scattered showers, and the outlook for Sunday--more rain and colder. The predicted high for tomorrow is forty-five degrees Fahrenheit, and the temperature is expected to dip to the freezing point tomorrow night with thirty-two degrees. I'm afraid colder weather is on its way!

Good weather across the south. Clear skies in Miami, and they're going to enjoy a sunny seventy-eight degrees in that town this weekend, so if you're thinking about a vacation, now's time to do it. Back to Chicago. Once again, continuing rain tonight through Sunday. Current temperature, thirty-eight degrees. And that winds up our weather report for this evening. This is Dave Spellman. Have a good night, and if you're going out, don't forget your umbrella.
