\u2018I think it’ll clear up later.\u2019
\n\u2018It’s going to rain by the looks of it.\u2019
\n\u2018We’re in for frost tonight.\u2019
\n\u2018They’re expecting snow in the west.\u2019
\n\u2018I hear that showers are coming our way.\u2019
\n\u2018I hear they’re calling for thunderstorms all weekend.\u2019<\/p>\n

It is common to attribute human features to the weather.<\/p>\n

\u2018The sun’s trying to come out.\u2019
\n\u2018It’s been trying to rain all morning.\u2019
