Good evening, Lexington. It's Thursday, May seventh, and what a beautiful clear evening we have with temperatures sitting at sixty-three degrees. The sun's setting at eight twenty-eight tonight, so there's still time to catch those golden hours if you're heading out.

Perfect weather for an evening walk, that's for sure. And speaking of perfect timing, Governor Beshear made some moves today on early childhood education, didn't he?

He did. The governor signed an executive order launching pre-K pilot programs in Robertson and Rockcastle counties. It's part of his broader push for universal pre-kindergarten access across Kentucky. He also gave a Team Kentucky update today covering economic development and healthcare worker recognition.

Those pilot programs could be a real game-changer for rural communities. What about closer to home? How was Lexington Fire's day?

Lexington Fire ran one hundred forty-two calls today, most of them routine. But they had three incidents that required four or more units. Notable responses included a five-unit call on Laredo Drive, a six-unit response on Redwood Drive, and another five-unit call on Pennsylvania Avenue.

That's a busy day for our firefighters. I know the Lex-Fayette Urban County Government had some planning work happening today too.

Right, both the Planning Commission's Zoning and Subdivision committees met today. The zoning committee wrapped up after about two and a half hours, while the subdivision folks had a longer session, nearly three hours of work.

Those committees stay busy with all the development happening around town. What's tomorrow morning looking like weather-wise?

We're looking at a clear night ahead with temperatures dropping to around forty-four degrees. Good news for Friday morning commuters, there's zero chance of rain, so you can leave the umbrella at home.

Sounds like a perfect start to Friday. Thanks for wrapping up the day with us, Lexington.

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

Stay safe out there, Bluegrass.
