Speaker: [00:00:00] Morning Quincy. Today is Tuesday, April 7th, 2026. This is your daily local update for Quincy George Winchester Crescent Bar Su Estates, and 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, schools, city council, police, fire, church community, and local business news.

Whether you're heading to work, getting the kids out the door, or just easing into your day. We're here to help you stay connected to what's happening in our community. Grab your coffee, get ready for your day, and let's start with today's weather forecast. It's a nice morning outside, currently 53 here at the studio.

Today's supposed to be sunny with a high near 62 with a little bit of breezy wind, 14 to 21 miles an hour. We had some big gusts up [00:01:00] to about 31, so. As always, when driving around Quincy, if you're driving a larger vehicle or out on your own feet, just be aware that you might catch some strong gusts today and plan accordingly.

Of course, 'cause this is the 9 8 8 4 8 and we know a little bit about wind tonight. Mostly clear with a low, around 37 and some winds throughout the evening. Y'all ready for this

in your Jack Sports recap. Yesterday, our Jackson Lady Jack tennis teams played against Top Inish Way to go to our Jack Varsity tennis team winning three to two and keep putting in the work. Lady Jacks, you're getting to get 'em next time. Go Jack.

If you're looking for a reason to celebrate today is National Beer Day, national Coffee Cake Day and National. Do no Housework Day. And I think we all would lean towards that last [00:02:00] one more than the first two. But you know, maybe you enjoy some good coffee cake. Maybe you've got a good recipe for some coffee cake.

If you got a good recipe for coffee cake, be sure to share that down in the comments on today's show today, around town. The Quincy Senior Center has an exercise class today, and also does this on Thursdays at 1:00 PM and on Tuesdays and Thursdays. They also play Mexican train at 6:30 PM after dinner.
