After 30 years of perfect forecasting, veteran meteorologist Fred Winter is replaced by the inexperienced Honey Adams just days before the city’s massive "Ultrapicnic." As Fred leaves, he intercepts an urgent warning: a tornado is set to strike during the event. Bitter over his dismissal, Fred initially hides the report from Honey, falsely assuring her the weather will be perfect. While a young hero named Pigeon Boy fails to convince the public of the coming danger, Fred suffers a change of heart. Realizing he cannot let the citizens of Ultrapolis perish, he rushes back to the station. Despite a technical failure, Pigeon Boy repairs the antenna just in time for Fred to broadcast a life-saving warning. Recognizing that expertise outweighs aesthetics, the station bosses fire Honey and reinstate Fred as their lead forecaster.
