Good Morning Quincy WA Daily Brief – Tuesday, May 5 2026

Speaker: [00:00:00] Good morning, Quincy. Today is Tuesday, May 5th, 2026. And this is the Good Morning Quincy Washington Newscast with your daily local update for Quincy, George, Winchester, Crescent Bar, someland states, and all of the surrounding area. If it matters in the 9848, 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, 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 to your day, we're here to help you stay connected with what's happening in our community. Grab your coffee, get ready for your day, and let's start with today's forecast. 61 here at the studio, a little cooler in Georgia and down in the river communities.

Today's sunny with a high near 80. North winds, nine to 11 [00:01:00] miles per hour becoming east in the afternoon with the occasional gust, but hey, it's Quincy. Tonight, mostly clear with a low round 53. Looks like it's gonna be a beautiful week. Y'all ready for this?

Eating your jack sports recap. Yesterday, our middle school Jack soccer softball teams played. Jack's seventh grade soccer played and lost against Orchard Middle School. Jack's eighth grade soccer team also played and lost against Orchard. Our Lady Jack's seventh grade softball team competed at Foothills Middle School and Los.

Our Lady Jack's eighth grade softball team also competed at Foothills and won nine to seven. Our Jacks ha- ... Our high school teams had the, had Monday off. Go jack.

If you're looking for a reason to celebrate, today [00:02:00] is Cinco de Mayo. It's not actually an official holiday, but hey, it's a good reason to celebrate. Whether you are having some friends over or going out and having some great food, like I said, it's a reason to celebrate. It's also National Astronaut Day and National Cartoonist Day, so take a minute and appreciate all of those cartoonists who worked for years back when they actually handred cartoons, as opposed to animating them on a computer.

Today around town, the Quincy Senior Center has an exercise class at 1:00 PM. They play Mexican train at 6:30 PM after dinner. If you'd like to know the menu for each day, I will get it posted later today. I apologize for yesterday. Uh, yesterday got away from me and so I was not able to get over to the senior center, get a copy of the menu.

But we will get that done today, I promise. And we'll get it posted over to welcome to quincywad.com in the notes section. Here's a [00:03:00] highlight on one of our wonderful community resources.

And it's Tuesday, and I don't know about you, but for some reason, Tuesdays are harder than Mondays for me. I haven't quite figured that one out yet. Uh, I know a lot of people dread Mondays, but Tuesdays are harder for me, so we've got a great dad joke to get the day started right. What happens when a doctor gets frustrated?

They lose their patience.[00:04:00]

This is a fundraising concert with all proceeds benefiting the QHS choir. Students audition with their favorite songs, and they put together a cover band of student musicians along with a few adults to bring these songs to life. They have 25 amazing covers prepared. It's a great way to support the students doing exactly what they sign up to do, making music, and they sing.

Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students, military, and seniors. Tickets can be purchased at the door or online with their new GoFans.co app. The concert is Thursday, May 7th, and again, Friday, May 8th in the QHS pack. They're really hoping to fill the pack for these kids. They work so hard, and this is a really amazing concert event, and it's a lot of fun to see these kids doing covers of songs [00:11:00] that you know well and probably sing along too on the radio.

Y'all ready for this.
