The Forecaster Puns

Sunny spells.

It looks like reindeer.

It's probably overblown

Exchange I just had with my daughter:

me: Your soccer might be cancelled tomorrow, the rain forecast is really bad
her: Don't be silly, it's always sunny on Saturdays
me: No, you're thinking of Sunday.

her: (with no hint of laughter just disappointment in me): That's not even a good dad joke.

I’m snow excited

I beat the raining champion.

High chance of it raining cats and dogs, howling winds, and a possible purricane.

Anchor: Bill, what on earth are you talking about?

Bill: It’ll be a little chili.

Just so I cover all the bassists.

A couple are arguing about whether they should cancel the picnic they had planned.

It's kind of cloudy, but the wife still wants to go because the forecast looks ok.

The husband, however, heard from their cranky old Russian neighbor Rudy that his joints were achy, and that he was certain it was going rain that day.

The couple argues for a while. The wife insists they should listen to the weather man over some crotchety old neighbor. The husband is equally insistent that the neighbor is right about this. After some back and forth, he finally turns to his wife, exasperated, and says:

Rudolph the red knows rain, dear.

It lets you know when temperatures are dropping before anyone thinks it’s cool

Chili today, hot tamale

They shouldn't be out that late without adult supervision. The sound of eyes rolling is music to my ears.

I said it's cool.

They're expecting a Lil Wayne.

I was checking the weather and the forecast for Sunday said "Potential for significant icing"

Dad: "Chocolate or vanilla?"

Well, it is January afterall. (courtesy of my stepdad)

The feather forecast.

We're in California, and the drought is on our minds as we approach what (in a good year) is the rainy season. As I checked the weather forecast, I gave a little cheer.

"Chance of showers this week!" I told my son.

"Well, for me, it's a 100% chance," he said. "Every morning, about 5:30."

A little bit of context: we're finishing dinner and talking about the weather. My mom says today's storm wasn't as big as forecasted, and my dad comments that another storm is predicted to come on Sunday.

I say, "Well then shouldn't they call it Rainday?"

Got 2 groans and a half-hearted chuckle. Totally worth it.

The forecast called for scat showers

Backstory: I'm a flight instructor, and I was teaching one of my students about the "Area Forecast". We were going through which areas of the country the forecast covered, and in addition to a bunch of states, there's a few lakes, like Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, etc.

Her: "Why are these lakes included in the forecast?"

Me: "Because they're pretty great."

Additional backstory: I will be a dad of 2 in less than a month.

Dad: Do you know what the Japanese weather forecast is?

Chilly today, hot tamago!

Alternatively at Mexican restaurants: Chilly today, hot tamale.

I told her, "It looks like reindeer."

Chili today, hot tamale!
