This will be an online only weekly broadcast. The semi fake forcast will cover Thursday to Sunday. The juxtaposition of a weather report on Minnesota will be funny from somewhere else. You will have to film yourself outside and email the footage. Props such as maps will be provided. You will need a video camera and a computer.
There are 2 options.
1-just the card reader option

2-the smart Brit (you don't need an accent)

Basically, an amalgam of these two will be good. Check out this BBC news weather page and scroll down to the first color pics you see from 1975. http://www.tvradiobits.co.uk/idents/bbcweather.htm The weather map is almost felt like and that is more or less an example of what you would be standing in front of. It's old school style where sunshine symbols and rainclouds can be peeled off and placed.
Internet personality Amanda Congdon is another good reference but bringing something else to the table is welcomed. Here is Amanda Congdon from an archived rocketboom broadcast. http://www.rocketboom.com/stories/rb_06_apr_04
