= Weather radar

A weather radar is a device which uses the reflection of radio waves from rain or snow to detect where there is rainfall. The information from the radar is then shown on a map. In this case green means light rain while red or white represent very heavy rain - possibly a thunderstorm. In this case the speaker (who is located where the black dot is) enjoys storms and is hoping to see one on the radar. A storm indeed appears but splits in half and passes either side of him. The reaction of the speaker seems to suggest that this has happended before. The text suggests that this happens when the people who run the radar notice you looking at the page enough they tease you by adding a fictional storm coming towards you which then disappears just as it approaches the speaker.

Transcript

[A black dot on a weather radar screen.]

Dot: Sigh. Just a few clouds.

[The clouds develop into orange, to the left of the dot.]

Dot: Whoa! Huge storm out of nowhere!

[The orange becomes red, and the storm moves towards the dot.]

Dot: It's growing! And headed right for me!

Awesome!

[The storm splits in half.]

Dot: Hey! What's it...

[The two halves of the storm pass by the dot.]

Dot: Dammit!

Again?!
