Speaker: [00:00:00] Good morning, Quincy. Today is Monday, April 6th, 2026, and we're coming off a big Easter weekend here in the 9 8 8 4 8. School is back in session. Spring break is officially over. So schools will be back to their normal Mondays, including late start this morning. Please make sure you're getting your kids ready for school and get them out the door this morning.

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.

Grab your coffee, get ready for your day, and let's start with today's forecast. Currently in the mid forties at the studio with some temperature variances around the 9 8 8, 4 8 ranging from 42 to 50 depending on where you are, which is why I check multiple sites because none of them ever actually agree on what the weather is today.

Some early clouds, mostly sunny with a high near 78. Yep, we're heading back towards the spring summer temperatures, light and variable winds becoming southwest five to 10 miles an hour this afternoon. Site being mostly clear with a low, around 42 with winds northwest at about 11 miles an hour. Ready for this

But you know, let's look for something beyond the, Hey life going back to normal Today is National Food Faces Day? Yep. That's actually a thing. You just thought your kid was a brilliant artist.

Making faces using your food is actually celebrated by someone somewhere enough that they put it on a silly calendar, but have a little fun today.
