Future Forecaster: Meet 10-year-old Zaina

Mr. Forecaster, Zaina is here. I keep saying Zainia because I'm just zany. I'm a zany guy, but you are Zaina. It's a beautiful name, by the way. Is it a family name or anything? Do you know what it means or where it comes from? It means beauty and grace. Aw, that's wonderful. And you do have beauty and grace. I appreciate that. It is a wonderful day to have you here because it is a little chilly, so we get to put our coats on. It keeps us awake and alive. And it's Friday the 13th. I know, it's kind of spooky, and you like psychology, so we could talk about all the superstition and the psychology of that, all right, all that crazy stuff. That's what you want to be when you grow up, right, a psychologist? That's really cool. All right, well, today you're going to be a future forecaster, but how you got here? Well, let's take a look at your audition tape. Oh, no. So, we're going to have a winter weather advisory, so make sure you, like, bundle up with a thick coat and some gloves and a hat, maybe. And so this, in the afternoon, it's still going to be under zero, so it's going to be like a good night for like hot cocoa and staying like warm and cozy inside. Well, look at that. You were saying you had a bit of a different hairdo back in the day. Yeah. Yeah? Well, I think you look good then. You look great now. This is our big green screen, right, or chroma key, as we call it sometimes in the biz. It's just a big green wall, and then we take away the green, and the computer puts in some different graphics, and we're going to continue to watch those graphics change in behind us here. We've got the satellite and radars. We can put all the weather information up, or we can just go fly out into outer space. We see ourselves, we're just hanging out in outer space, right? A heck of a lot cheaper than Artemis, that's for sure. We go all the way to the moon for the low, low price of free. And then we can just make the weather do what we want it to do. Are you ready to, like, interact with our green screen? Yeah. All right, so if you turn over there, you see that little monitor? Little monitor. Come this way, please. Just rotate. There we go. And look over there. See yourself on that monitor over there? Other way. There you go. Now take a step back toward me. Good. Yeah, now put your hand way up. Reach way up and press. Yeah, I know it's backward. There you go. I think you got it. One more try. Point at the big blue H. There you go. Try one more time. One more time. My hand might be throwing it off. There we go. Now take a step back toward me. Okay? Now point right about here. Okay? Put your finger. There you go. A little bit lower. Okay, now pull it way back. All right, we can't quite get the chroma key to go. So, you know what? You like to swim, so why don't we just go jump in the pool? That's how we'll end this. See, we can do whatever we want when we're on the chroma key. All right, thanks for having fun with me, Zanna. We're going to have a lot more fun with our future forecast. So stick around. We'll be back with more on Fox 6 Wake Up. I have some wonderful times this weekend to get outside. Zaina is here. She's our future forecaster. Thank you for coming in, for one. You are 10 years old, right? And what grade are you in? Fifth grade. And what's the name of your school? Salam School. Salam School. We want to say hi to everybody there. What's your teacher's name?
