When will the storm start? [originaltext]M Did you see the weather for this week

M Did you see the weather for this weekend? We’re supposed to have stormy weather starting Friday morning. Should we postpone our department outing? We could move it to the following Saturday.
W I wouldn’t be able to make it because I’m going out of town that weekend. Why don’t we just cancel the afternoon activities and keep it to lunch?
M That’s a good idea. Do you think the others will mind?
W I think they would welcome the idea. We’ve had so much work this week; everyone is exhausted. I’ll go talk to everyone and let them know what’s going on. Could you also call the restaurant and make sure that we’re seated inside?
