On a similar line to @homeypro solution, but without needing to parse the args every time is to add the following as the first line of the script:  
`const flow_args = JSON.parse(args[0]);`

then just use `flow_arg.arg1`, etc, to get the values.

You can also assign more meaningful names and use tags:

Notice the quotes around the Weather token as that is a string.
