There is no rain in the forest, because we are experiencing a drought. There is no rain in the forest this month. There is no rain in the forest, which has caused a severe wildfire to burn out of control.
1 There is no rain in the forecast for tomorrow. 2 There is no rain in the forecast for this weekend in Berlin. 3 There is no rain in the forecast, so we will have a great time this weekend at the beach.
Nichole, your first sentence adds a dependent clause rather than a phrase. Your second sentence adds a phrase rather than a dependent clause. Your third sentence adds a dependent clause rather than an independent clause.
Brad, your second sentence adds a prepositional phrase (very much like the first sentence) rather than a dependent clause.
