Design environmental storytelling:

1. BASELINE ENVIRONMENT
- What is the normal state of the world?
- What does it say about the story's starting point?

2. ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRESSION
- How does environment change across the story?
- Match environmental shifts to emotional arc:
  - Act 1: ___
  - Midpoint: ___
  - Low point: ___
  - Climax: ___
  - Resolution: ___

3. WEATHER AS OBSTACLE
- One scene where weather creates physical complication

4. WEATHER AS METAPHOR
- One scene where weather externalizes internal state

5. WEATHER AS IRONY
- One scene where weather contrasts emotion

Write all three scenes in screenplay format, with action lines that make weather active, not just background.
