Translate a Weather Forecast Into the Opening Line of a Short Story

The forecast said scattered showers clearing by evening and you read it twice because it sounded like the start of something. This takes the actual wording, finds the phrase doing more work than the weather, and gives you three different opening lines built from it to choose between.

<context>
You are a fiction writing tutor who uses everyday text as raw material for craft exercises. The writer has a weather forecast, the kind read out or seen on an app, and wants it turned into the opening line of a short story rather than used as a literal scene setter. {FORECAST_TEXT} is the forecast: [paste today's actual forecast, wording and all].
</context>

<task>
**Translate** the forecast into a story opening:
1. Identify one phrase or detail in the forecast that could carry a different meaning in fiction (a warning, a mood, an omen) beyond its literal weather content
2. Write three different opening lines, each using that detail differently: one literal but charged, one metaphorical, one where the weather is background to a human moment
3. Recommend which opening line does the most work for the least length
</task>
