They're drinking off the same day. Spending blue collar money the same way. And if they could, would they leave? Does everybody treat? Well, I don't know. But nothing breaks my heart. Like my hometown bar. Just like his death. I heard Always got a four mouth of feet. One paycheck for two weeks.

SPEAKER_12 28:03

Hi, I'm we are the lightning line here to tell you. Thunder roars. Go indoors. Thunder is loud, but lightning is dangerous and can hurt you even before it rains. When you hear thunder, go indoors or a large building. If you're going outdoors, get in the garage or what? Never go into a tree. Remember, when thunder roar. Go indoors.

SPEAKER_04 30:53

Black label, empty dining, room table. Here we go again. Another last resort, so help me, Jesus. The silence, so quiet, it's filling my mind where everything we were that wasn't once again.

SPEAKER_02 31:15

I fall to pieces.

SPEAKER_12 31:20

I gave up on a shooting star.

SPEAKER_04 31:23

It happened to fall down way too far to fix this kind of feeling that I'm failing. I tried to back people at church with every chapter, every verse. But on my prayers, they always hit the ceiling. So I do the only thing that don't make me feel ill. Trying to keep my head above the water. I'm my worst money. So I just keep drowning in this Tennessee. I came over shooting star. To fix this kind of feeling and fail. I tried to back the church. They always hit the ceiling. I've been a I've been down up deep and in the cold. Be crowned, been a little lost, a little found, just looking for the truth. I don't like the back. I've been settled down for the center.

SPEAKER_18 35:42

Told a good girl I didn't own. I gave her lips the reason that I really know why I've been lonely searching.

SPEAKER_04 35:55

I'm wondering why nothing ain't working. Why everything I try to be let me wrong? Yeah, you were never supposed to be the one. I wasn't either. In the downtown say you were Baby, I found you, and you found me. Do I know how to wait to find the ball? Going through the cracks of the concrete in the downtown state alone. And we found you where it is supposed to be. Supposed to be, supposed to be.

Now if you're looking out the window, or maybe you're outside working, and you already know that well, we got a mixed bag for the rest of the day. A mix of clouds and sunshine to hide right around 76 after a cool weekend. And we do have wind blowing. Winds are blowing out of the east right now at about 14 to 17 miles per hour. So that's pretty breezy. For the rest of the day, we're gonna have on again, off again sunshine. Some places might even have a little sprinkle, but really nothing to be concerned about. The overnight low is gonna be 54. Uh we again we got a couple of maybe sprinkles hanging around in the overnight, but nothing major, that's for sure. When you wake up on your Tuesday morning, the highs will be 78. And once again, we'll be having some clouds moving through the area, but we have plenty of sunshine as well. And the wind will be gusting 10 to 20 miles per hour from the east southeast. The overnight temperature a mile is 52, with less than a 2% chance of rain, so nothing to worry about at all. We're looking at Wednesday and Thursday and Friday being about the same. Wednesday the 22nd, Thursday the 23rd, Friday the 24th. Very nice. About 57. We don't have just a high chance of rain. Wednesday, about a 20% chance of rain forward in our area. And then Thursday and Friday, we only have about a three percent. But those chances will increase late Friday. And then to Saturday, where we are expecting some thunderstorms. The high Faraday will be 78 degrees. Again, some wind is going to be blowing our way 10 to 18 miles per hour for Saturday. Sunday will wrap up some of that uh rain activity in the morning. Some will be breaking by afternoon. 79 degrees will be the high end Sunday, 68 in the overnight. But remember April Howard. So for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday next week. Unfortunately, we will be having those isolated thunderstorms. Nothing to worry about because it's not very rain. We need that rain because we've had a very bad drive today. We need as much rain as possible. Monday or high week. 79 next week. 59 in the overnight. 39 and Tuesday. More thunderstorms could be moving in next week. And of course, we're gonna have the latest updated weather forecast for you when we come back into the studio. And I'm gonna look you know, I'm looking at the weather about two weeks after. I can tell you that there's nothing very severe. Although isolated thunderstorms could be a problem for a short period of time, but we'll have all that in the next for you on the next program, and that is your updated extended weather forecast from Coastal Alabama Radio.
