Good morning, Lexington. It's Tuesday, May fifth. You're waking up to a clear sixty-one degrees with winds out of the southwest, and honestly, it was a pretty busy night for our first responders.

Yeah, Lexington Fire had their hands full overnight. Three multi-unit calls including a seven-unit response over on Golfview Drive and a six-unit call at Saint Joseph Drive. Hope everyone's okay this morning.

Absolutely. Now, looking at the bigger picture from yesterday, the Supreme Court temporarily restored mail access to the abortion pill Mifepristone, and abortion rights advocates here in Kentucky are warning about potential consequences for women if that gets reversed permanently.

That's going to keep reverberating through state politics. On a lighter note, I saw Mother's Day spending is projected to hit a record thirty-eight billion dollars nationwide this year. Kentucky retailers have got to be loving that news.

Perfect timing since we're just days away. And speaking of timing, if you're planning any trips north, mark your calendar for May twentieth when major ramp closures start around the Brent Spence Bridge in Covington. Construction crews are moving forward on that project.

Always something with that bridge. What's the weather looking like for folks dealing with those detours?

Actually pretty nice. We're looking at partly sunny skies today with a high near seventy-six, low around sixty tonight, and no significant rain in the forecast.

Can't complain about that. Anything happening at City Hall today?

The Public Arts Commission meets at nine thirty this morning in the Council Chamber. Always interesting to see what creative projects they're discussing for the city.

That's your Tuesday morning brief from all of us at LexBot. Stay safe out there, Lexington.
