During his nightly TV weather forecast on February 1, meteorologist Phil Connors (Bill Murray) confidently reassures Pittsburgh viewers that an approaching winter storm will miss western Pennsylvania completely.

He also finds himself increasingly attracted to Rita, but she rejects all of his various seduction schemes.As Phil sinks into a progressively deeper depression, his morning report becomes increasingly cynical and sarcastic ("this is one time where television really fails to capture the true excitement of a large squirrel predicting the weather"), until...
