Good evening, Lexington. It's Friday, April twenty-fourth, and we're wrapping up a beautiful spring day here in the Bluegrass. Seventy-seven degrees under mostly clear skies, and if you're heading out tonight, sunset's at eight sixteen.

Perfect evening for it. What a week it's been though. I know folks have been following the situation up at U-K pretty closely.

Right, the trustees made their move today on that governance dispute. They voted to review and revise those controversial rules that stripped the board of approval power over major academic appointments. This comes after Governor Beshear's public criticism of how the university's been handling things.

That's significant. And I'm curious how that federal shift on medical marijuana might play out locally. What are you hearing?

The Justice Department reclassified state-licensed medical marijuana from Schedule One to Schedule Three today, which could ease some of the regulatory burden on Kentucky's medical program. Still early to know exactly what that means for patients here, but it's a step toward less federal interference.

Good to see. How was Lexington Fire's day?

Busy but manageable. They ran one hundred thirty-four calls total. Three multi-unit responses stood out, including a six-unit call at Manchester and South Forbes, plus responses on Linden Walk and Bizzell Drive. Nothing out of the ordinary for a Friday.

What's tomorrow morning looking like weather-wise?

Overnight low near sixty-two, but keep the umbrella handy. We've got a forty-five percent chance of early-morning rain before things clear up for the weekend.

That's your Friday evening checkpoint. Thanks for ending the week with us, Lexington.

We'll see you back here tomorrow. Have a great night, everyone.
