[ WP ] The weather forecaster does n't predict the weather . They cause it .

Tom walked through the security check. It was a scrutinous check, but considering the power that he had as a weather forecaster, it was perfectly understandable. In countries that were more unstable, criminals often bribed and threatened weather forecasters. The ability to control the weather is one of the highest powers known to mankind, and a power that was once reserved for the gods. That power then became available through a college education. 
 
 With the increasing number of students studying meteorology, the weather forecaster profession has become much more exclusive. On top of the physical check, forecasters also have to pass a mental check, both before they get the job and every month after that. In light of what has happened to Tom tonight, he probably would have failed. 
 
 As he walked into the newsroom, he heard the doors behind him lock: another safety measure that left Tom uninterrupted. Although he had a relatively massive responsibility, his job was simple. Most days where sunny, farmers got some wet days, and Christmas got snow. Simple enough that a robot could have done it, but robots aren ’ t meteorologists. 
 
 “ Good evening, my name is Tom and I will be your weather forecaster tonight. Tomorrow, the Orlando area will be experiencing another sunny day with temperatures around room temperature, whether you like it or not. ” 
 
 A tiny, familiar smile appeared behind the bulletproof glass, on the face of Tom ’ s weather supervisor. Everyone hated that pun. 
 
 “ The air will have its trademark Orlando dryness, but there will be a storm in a certain area in the city. ” 
 
 Tom could feel the shocked gasps, coming from the mouths of the audience. 
 
 “ Yes, a powerful storm will roam the city tomorrow, thankfully localized to a small area, right above the head of a *certain woman* who decided to cheat on me. ” 
 
 Now the gasps had spread from the audience, to Tom ’ s weather supervisor and producer. They ’ d probably start the lengthy process of entering the newsroom any moment now. 
 
 “ Yes, it ’ s quite a dreadful storm. In the best case, it might mess with *someone ’ s* hair-do, but everything here points to worse consequences. ” 
 
 As quickly as a hurricane, Tom's supervisor sprinted out of her chair, and Tom wondered when his fat producer would follow. 
 
 “ I ’ m also afraid that there will be quite the brutal hail, with each ball of ice being about the size of a key. This storm will take place above a certain red Toyota Yaris. I bet you viewers are wishing you had a garage right now. ” 
 
 Although the producer and supervisor where out of sight, he could hear them shouting and banging on the door, ready to storm the room, and subsequently fire Tom. 
 
 “ Lastly, be sure to bring your dog inside, because the monsoon period has 
 arrived… in the backyard of Longbirch ave. 742. ” 
 
 “ Thank you, and good night. ”
