SUMMARY: Today’s First Alert Weather Kid is Anna Catherine (6/17). Katherine submitted today’s drawing, which shows rain falling with a person standing outside. The person’s umbrella appears to have blown away, and they look surprised, saying, “Oh no!” Many can relate to this scene, especially after the heavy rainfall that moved through yesterday. Thank you, Katherine, for your photo submission. You can submit your own pictures just like Katherine did.
