WEATHER
Low pressure traveling through the Great Lakes will lift a warm front through the region. Convection looks likely in the afternoon but models are having a difficult time resolving the storm locations. The storms that do develop could be real soakers. High temperature in the mid-80s. Winds south at 5-8 mph. Rainfall less than 0.1 of an inch with higher amounts where storms occur.

KUR FUN FACT
May 2019 web stream ratings: Over a quarter million listening minutes logged (double of May 2018) in 33 countries (up from 20 countries in May 2018). If you’re not listening to KUR, you’re one of the very few in the world; OK, slight exaggeration there, but you get the picture.
