The forecaster says “vamos a hacer un pantallazo general” before going region by region. A pantallazo is a quick overview — a broad look at the whole picture before the details. It comes from pantalla (screen), as in a single screenful of information at a glance. A friendly, everyday word, not formal. Note the regional split: in Argentina “pantallazo” means this quick overview, but in Spain it often means a screenshot.
In the clip: “vamos a hacer un pantallazo general” — “we’re going to do a quick general overview.” A pantallazo means a fast, broad look at something before the details. More examples: “Te doy un pantallazo de la reunión” — “I’ll give you a quick rundown of the meeting.” “Primero un pantallazo y después vemos cada punto” — “First a quick overview, then we’ll look at each point.” Note: in Spain pantallazo often means a screenshot, but in this Argentine clip it means a quick general look.
