Hello, viewers. Thanks for turning on WBEZ Channel 7. I have some breaking weather news updates for you. We have some cold weather headed toward us this Thursday evening. It will start raining tonight around five or six. And the temperature will drop below freezing overnight, which means snow during the night! I predict it will pile up to three or four inches. In the morning, it may get even more dangerous. The snow may turn into frozen rain and become ice everywhere.

Even though the town is putting salt on the roads to prepare for the weather, the roads will still be very icy and bad to drive on. High schools around the area have already closed for tomorrow, and the local college is considering shutting. I recommend buying a lot of food and water and staying inside for the next one or two days. It may take a while for the ice to melt and the trucks to push all the snow off the road. Thanks for listening in to this update, and please be careful out there.
