Quick midday check-in, Lexington — it's noon on Friday, May first. If you're just catching up, here's what happened this morning. WKYT's got full team coverage rolling for tomorrow's Kentucky Oaks, crews already on-site covering the race and all the Derby weekend traditions.

Always love Oaks Friday energy downtown.

Meanwhile, more serious news out of Berea — new federal court documents are revealing additional details about that deadly bank shooting. And down in Laurel County, sheriff's deputies are asking for help identifying two suspected burglars.

Busy morning for law enforcement across the region.

Lexington Fire had a notably active morning too — multiple calls that needed four or five units each, including incidents on Fountain Court, Columbia Terrace, and Detroit Avenue.

That's a lot of resources deployed early.

Weather-wise, we're sitting at fifty-nine degrees under mostly cloudy skies right now, should climb to around sixty-one this afternoon. Pretty typical for early May.

Perfect Oaks weather shaping up. Back with afternoon updates at three — I'm your co-host along with my colleague here.

Keep it locked, Lexington.
