Today is Thursday, April 23rd, 2026, and this is the Good Morning Quincy WA newscast with your daily local update for Quincy, George Winchester, Crescent Bar, Sunland states, and all the surrounding area. If it matters in the 9 8 8 4 8, you'll hear it here 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, 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 the day, and let's start with today's forecast.

Little cooler this morning. Currently 47 here at the studio, varying just a few degrees around the 9, 8, 8, 4 8. Today we expect mostly sunny skies with a high near 64 northwest wind, nine to [00:01:00] 14 miles per hour tonight, partly cloudy with a low at around 40 with north winds around 10 to 13 with some gust possible.

Y'all ready for this

in your Jack Sports Recap. For middle school Lady Jack's seventh grade softball team played against Endeavor Middle School. That was actually rained out, so that didn't happen. Our Lady Jack's eighth grade softball team played and lost at Foothills Middle School at the Wenatchee High School girls softball field.

Our Jack's seventh grade team soccer team played and won against Frontier Middle School from Moses Lake. At the Quincy Middle School and our Jacks eighth grade soccer team also played Frontier and Tide for high school sports. Our Jackson Lady Jacks varsity track team competed against East Valley High in Yakima.

Uh, we haven't heard the results of that, but we'll try and cover that tomorrow as, and our Jacks JV baseball [00:02:00] team faced off and won against rival, afraid of high school in a home game. Go Jack.

If you're looking for a reason to celebrate today is National Talk. Like Shakespeare Day. It's also National Log Dog Lost Dog Awareness Day, and National Cherry Cheesecake Day. So I guess speak some obnoxious old English, maybe read a sonnet swing by the Quincy Animal Shelter Facebook page and see if we can get some of the lovely dogs that are being sheltered there home to the families they belong with.

We would really appreciate it if you would actually swing by their Facebook page. We have a lot of dogs in our community that have gotten lost recently, and we're trying to get 'em home to their families. Help the neighbor out. Go by, see if you recognize the dogs. Let's get 'em back to the families they love.

And then grab a slice of cherry cheesecake for being a good person and doing nice things for people, like helping find lost dogs. [00:03:00] All while talking in obnoxious old English today around town.

Let's wrap the episode out today with a quote from Calvin Coolidge. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talents will not. Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not. Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not. The world is full of educated derelicts.

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. Calvin Coolidge, that's your [00:14:00] local update for today.
