In New York City, home of the Statue of Liberty
and all those skyscrapers and the surrounding area,
it will be sunny and mild,
a little cloudy but nice and warm.
What a beautiful day to do some fishing.
Down in the Southeast today,
the weather will be gorgeous.
In Miami, Florida, a popular vacation spot,
it's going to be sunny and hot, hot, hot!
It's 90 degrees Fahrenheit,
that's 32 degrees Celsius now,
a perfect day for the beach.
Not so in St. Louis, Missouri,
the gateway to the West.
It's cool and windy.
We expect rain there
and throughout the Midwest this afternoon.
So get out your umbrella.
And in the Rocky Mountains it's freezing.
Brrrrr! It's 32 degrees Fahrenheit,
that's 0 degrees Celsius.
Outside Denver, Colorado,
there is two feet of snow already
and it's going to snow some more.
It's a perfect place for skiing.
And on the west coast in Los Angeles, California,
home of Hollywood movie stars and fast cars,
it's sunny and warm.
It'll be a beautiful day for a drive up the coast.
