Good Morning Quincy WA Daily Brief – Thursday, March 5 2026

Speaker: [00:00:00] Good morning, Quincy. Today is Thursday, March 5th, 2026. This is your daily local update for Quincy George Winchester, Crescent Bar and Sunland Estates. All of the 9 8 8 4 8. If it matters to our community, we're talking about it. In the next few minutes, we'll cover today's weather, what's happening around town, school, sports, and activities, school, city council, police, fire, church community, and local business news.

Whether you're heading to work this morning, getting kids ready, go out the door, or just easing into your day. We're here to help you stay connected with what's happening in our community. Grab your coffee, get ready for the day, and let's start with today's weather forecast. Currently 39 here at the studio.

A little bit warmer this morning. Low humidity, but give yourself a little bit just in case we get some unexpected frost. But we [00:01:00] are heading towards spring, so that's happening less and less. Some clouds this morning will give way generally to sunny skies in the afternoon with a high near 55 with about average wind for the area.

Small wind gusts here and there like usual this evening. Partly cloudy skies will give way to really cloudy skies later and with a low of 37 tonight in your Jack Sports Recap. For the life of me, I cannot find scores for the middle school wrestling. So if you guys know what the scores were and how our team did, please email me info@thefallibleman.com and let me know so I can share those out.

Uh, I know our middle school team seventh and eighth was supposed to compete last night, but for some reason, wrestling is the hardest thing for me to get scores for. Otherwise, we're in the middle of transitioning from winter to spring sports, so stay tuned, Jack Sports [00:02:00] recaps. We'll be back in the near future.

If you're looking for a reason to celebrate. Today is Real Film Day, and it's celebrated by everyone who enjoys watching a good movie and honestly who doesn't enjoy watching a good movie. Whether you enjoy an amazing mystery thriller or an action flick or something that's just comedic gold or some of the classics.

Everybody has those movies they enjoy. So enjoy a good movie today and it's national cheese puff day. So if you really just love those, I, I can't even call 'em tasting trees. Sorry, I don't love them. But if you like cheese puffs, apparently it's your day today around Quincy. The Quincy Senior Center has an exercise class today at 1:00 PM and Peanut Hole at 3:00 PM.

They also play Mexican terrain after the six 30 dinner. And as always, the menu found over on our notes section at Welcome to quincy wa.com. The Quincy Rotary Club will be meeting today at 12:10 PM [00:03:00] I still really wanna know why it's 1210.
