And in the overnight hours, the temperature is kind of cool for this time of year. We do have a light wind coming from the north-northeast, 10 to 15 miles per hour. But all in all, not bad. Now for your Tuesday, tomorrow, we're looking at more sunshine moving in. And sun clouds lingering because the high will be much warmer. 77 degrees tomorrow. And 59 in the overnight. Now we're still gonna have some wind blowing on through 10 to 15 miles an hour from the east-northeast. And there is a slight chance of some sprinkles sometime during your day. Tuesday. Wednesday will be similar to Tuesday. 76 will be the high. 60 degrees in the overnight, only about a 2-4% chance of rain. But winds will be quite gusty, blowing 18 to 20 miles per hour on Wednesday from the east-northeast. And you know what? Yeah, that's kind of breezy for this area, but thankfully, you know, sometimes a little wind is good, actually. It blows the dust and the dirt out of the area. And uh, well, we can we can live with it. Thursday will be again very similar to Tuesday. Wednesday, we're talking about highs around 75 degrees, 63 degrees in the overnight. Wind's still blowing 17 to 19 miles per hour. We do have that lingering chance of a slight sprinkle here or there. About a five to eight percent, which is not much, but that does mean someplace in our area you can see a couple of sprinkles. Friday and Saturday and Sunday, we're talking about some pretty decent sun rays and the high right around 77 degrees all three days during the weekend. The overnight right around 65 degrees. That's very nice and mild. Wind still kind of hanging around, blowing 12 to 15 miles per hour all three days, coming from the east-southeast, and just a very ever so slight chance of any rain five to nine percent. Again, that is not much. We're gonna be looking at Friday, Thursday, Sunday as a great day out, and guess what? We have a lot of activities happening, including the Strawberry Festival in uh Loxley. So there are many things happening, and you're gonna have an enjoyable weekend if you're going out. Monday going back to work, Tuesday going back to work, and Wednesday going back to work. Well, it's not that bad. The high will be around 78 degrees during the daytime, the overnight about 68. We're gonna have uh mostly sunny, but there will be some clouds moving through. But Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, we do have a little bit greater chance of rain. Nothing major, no major storms, no thunderstorms, but about a 15 to 25% chance of rain somewhere along the way. And of course, when we get back into the studio, we'll have a latest updated extended weather forecast. But overall, it's looking pretty decent for the Gulf Coast of Alabama.

A very cool event is happening in Ferro. And you could possibly be part of it. The Verhold Volunteer Fire Department is sponsoring the Junior Firefighter Program for ages 14 through 18. Training every two weeks on Wednesday evening at Station 2 that's located at 19,835 road. Now this program will introduce these teenagers all about the firefighting industry, the third industry. The program consists of numerous types of learning, including discipline research, firefighter duties and activities, among many others. You might even see uh a fire or two. Secretary and VFT.org. If you have a son or a daughter between the age of 14 and 18, this is an excellent program to introduce them to not only fires and the impossible career in firefighting, but also volunteerism and many other things. Once again, contact the secretary at Fairhope Fire.

SPEAKER_21 1:02:10

Somewhere in a small town, someone always asks, Where you been? So I tell them what you told me, and they can't believe we're through. And it came to wonder into I'm breathing.

SPEAKER_09 1:02:45

Breathe out.

SPEAKER_21 1:03:40

But the way of me can let me open holding on until this world stops turning round. I saw it in her eyes when I was saying goodbye, bad girl. She ain't gonna be alright. Cause I could tell she'd be going through a living hell and die. I wouldn't be there by her side. And Lord, I felt so bad as I sat and watched her cry. Thinking how I was moving on. And she was barely getting by. Look at what I've done to her. Look at how I made her feel. I gave back her heart, the broken part. She got the raw end of the deal. And look at what it's done to me. You gotta know it tears me up. I give it everything I had, and Lord, it just wasn't enough. Hurtin' her like this seems so wrong. You look at what I've done to her. Now she's alone. I saw her out last night, and she was having a good time. That girl, it looks like she's doing fine. But then I saw a man walk up and take her by the hand and die. Oh god I almost die. And then it hit me. She didn't really need me. I just sat there for a while. Until I finally smiled. And look at what I've done to her. Look at how I made her feel. She's found somebody new. And look who took the time to heal. And look at what it's done to me. Gotta know it tears me up. To have walked away from the love we made and just leave it in a cloud of dust. And now it's got me thinking, maybe I was wrong. After all the things I've done to her. She said it's good to see her. But hey, I gotta go. And look at what I've done to her. Look at how I made her feel. She's standing tall, she's got it all. Got the world at her heels. And look at what it's done to me. You look at how it makes me hurt. If I can go back now, I swear somehow I'd find a way to make it work. Ain't life funny. Now I'm the one alone. You look at what I've done to me. She's gone.

SPEAKER_14 1:10:36

The city will be conducting a test of their tornado sirens. You're gonna hear them, they're pretty loud, and emergency notification speakers in the downtown area. Please note that this is merely a test, so don't get upset or excited. And it's only going to impact the downtown area. This is tonight, April the 7th. So if you're in the area visiting or you live in the area, before more, this is nothing more than a test.
