Back to the scene with Hugo talking to the radio weather man, who tells him to talk to BIRCH if he wants to know about weather stuff. Hugo is directed to the roof of the radio building where he encounters Birch. Birch tells him it is going to rain at 4:30 but Hugo is more interested in the weather on the day when the file was thrown out of James Glendenning's window. Birch tells him what direction the wind would've blown the papers that day. The point (I think) is that Birch controls the weather? He again says that it's going to rain this afternoon because he doesn't want to go to his son's soccer game.
