Quick midday check-in, Lexington — it's noon on Wednesday, April twenty-ninth. Here's what you missed this morning: Silent Tactic is out of the Kentucky Derby with a foot injury, so one less horse in the field this Saturday.

And locally, the Children's Theater downtown is pushing toward two and a half million dollars for building renovations on West Short Street.

Lexington Fire had a busy morning with larger calls on Waller Avenue, Georgian Way, and East Maxwell Street — nothing major but keeping crews moving around the city.

Storm cleanup continues in Midway where downed trees are still making some park roads hazardous.

This afternoon, expect clouds to stick around with a high near sixty-two degrees. Winds staying light from the southwest.

That's your midday reset, Lexington. We'll keep tracking the afternoon for you right here on LexBot.
