Weather Outlook

Please stay weather aware today. Keep your eyes and ears on the weather at WTVA – The Weather Authority:

Several fronts and some low pressure area will work their way across our area over the next several days. This will give our area some off and on chances for some showers and thunderstorms at times. Some of the thunderstorms will be on the heavy and hefty side at times. One of those rounds will be later on Saturday. Another round of some heavier activity will be in our area on Sunday. Most of the high temperatures over the next several afternoons will be in the 70s to maybe some 80s at times, if enough sunshine prevails. Overnight low temperatures will be mainly in the 50s and 60s.

On This Day

National Love Our Children Day! This is a day celebrated annually on the first Sunday in April, as an initiative of Love Our Children USA. A day to acknowledge the value of children, to educate parents of the importance of showing love, protection, and respect. We need to strengthen families and spread awareness for efforts to keep our children safe. Go hug your child or a child dear to you. Talk to them and just ask how they are and let them know they are loved!

National Sorry Charlie Day! Today we need to think about the times we have been rejected. This gives us an opportunity to reflect on how we survived the rejection and learned from it. I know I have been rejected many times. I have also reacted several different ways. How can you strengthen your circumstances?

National Caramel Popcorn Day! Popcorn is always better with caramel or lots of butter. Caramel popcorn coated with a sugar or molasses based caramel candy! Grab a movie and some caramel popcorn!

National Student-Athlete Day! Nationally recognized on today but celebrated throughout March and April at NCAA Colleges and Universities. It recognizes the accomplishments of student-athletes who excel in the classroom, on the field, and give back to their community. Do you know a student-athlete? Whether he/she is in school or college, congratulate them today!

National Teflon Day! Teflon is a tough synthetic resin made by polymerizing tetrafluroethylene, used coat non-stick cooking utensils and cookware. It is also used to make seals and bearings. It also can refer to an individual who can handle criticism or attack with no effect. I know Teflon makes cooking better. I guess it could make feelings better too especially when it comes to rejection.

National Tartan Day! A celebration of Scottish Heritage, on this day in 1320, which was the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath. This was the Scottish Declaration of Independence. The American Independence was modified from this. It also recognizes the achievements of Americans with Scottish descent. There are typically parades of bag pipes bands, Highland dancing, and Scottish-themed events.

National Poetry Month! The aim of this day is to highlight the legacy and ongoing achievements of American poets. It is to encourage the reading of poems, assist teachers in bringing poetry to their classroom, and encourage support for poets and poetry. Are you a poet or do you know one? Take a minute and write a poem, rhyme, or haiku!

Famous Birthdays- Peyton List turns 21. Todd Chrisley is 50. Merle Haggard (1937-2018) Tom Sawyer is 39. James Watson turns 90. Raphael (1483-1520) Jalen Mills is 25. Sterling Sharpe turns 54. Paul Daniels (1938-2016) Rafael Correa is 56.

Word of the Day: Flagellate is to whip of flog.

Quote of the Day: It is not enough to do good; one must do it the right the way. -John Viscount Morley of Blackburn

That’s what I can find for today, but if you have something else you know about, or have an upcoming event you are interested in promoting, please message us or drop it in a comment below.

On This Day

In 1994, Kurt Cobain, front man of Nirvana was found dead in his Lake Washington Blvd. home. He died by suicide of self-inflicted gunshot wound. Kurt Cobain is remembered as one of the most iconic and influential rock musicians in the history of alternative music. – Wikipedia.Com

National Go for Broke Day! Go for broke is an Hawaiian pidgin phrase of “to wager everything.” A World War 2 Motto in the Japanese-American military unit of the 442nd Infantry Regiment.

National Caramel Day! Caramel is a brown confectionery product made by heating a variety of sugars. Caramel is one of my favorite cakes and ice cream topping. It goes will with chocolate in candy and clusters. Go devour some caramel today.

National Read a Road Map Day! This day is set aside to encourage us to improve our map reading skills. Due to advanced technology, and the making of GPS and map applications, most people do not read maps anymore. This was a requirement for me in the 8th grade. I can read a map very well as long as I know the direction. Go grab a map and educate yourself. You never know when you will not have any service!

National Deep Dish Pizza Day! The deep dish pizza is a popular style pizza originating in Chicago. It is baked in a pan and gives the pizza its high edge and deep surface for large amounts of cheese and pizza sauce. This used to be my favorite style of pizza crust until I discovered thin & crispy. I like a variety. Stop by your favorite pizza spot and indulge on some pan pizza today!

National Inventor’s Month! This is a celebration of invention and creativity started in 1998. The United Inventors Association of the USA (UIA-USA), the Academy of Applied Science, and the Inventors’ Digest magazine created this. Do you have an idea or invention?
