Quick midday check-in, Lexington — it's noon on Tuesday, April twenty-eighth. If you missed this morning, high winds swept through the region Monday night, leaving about five thousand people without power in Frankfort and downing trees, including one that crushed a car on Ewing Street.

Mother Nature's still not done with us either.

Right, we've got fog and mist right now at sixty-four degrees, but the afternoon should clear up nicely with highs near seventy-eight. Lexington Fire had a busy morning with multi-unit responses on Hudson Avenue, Blazer Parkway, and Enterprise Court, but all handled without major incident.

Sounds like the crews earned their lunch break.

They did. Also this morning, a man previously convicted in the twenty ten death of a Lexington police officer appeared in court facing new assault and robbery charges. We'll keep tracking that story as it develops.

That's your midday check-in. We're back with updates at one.
