PRIDE IN SOUTHWEST DETROIT
SAYING OKAY FOR THE DRAFT, BUT
THEY PUT THIS IN OUR
NEIGHBORHOOD AND WE ABSOLUTELY
LOVE IT. GUYS ALSO, IF THE
HOLLYWOOD SIGN IN THE MOCKUP
THAT WE SAW WAS JUST A MOCKUP,
IT WAS JUST SOMETHING TO TALK
ABOUT THAT WOULD DIVERT AIR
TRAFFIC. IT WOULD BLOCK OFF HALF
OF THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. IT WOULD
SHINE LIGHTS IN THE OTHER HALF.
IT’S JUST THAT WOULD NOT HAPPEN.

ON OUT BECAUSE IT’LL GROW ON YOU
ONCE YOU SEE IT. THAT’S GREAT.
SHAWN, WE APPRECIATE IT.
>> SHE’S GREAT. THAT’S RIGHT.
>> ALL RIGHT, WELL, THE DRAWN
OUT BATTLE BETWEEN AMERICAN
CONSUMERS AND HIGHER PRICES
SHOWS NO SIGNS OF ENDING SOON.
NEW NUMBERS OUT TODAY SHOW
PRICES ROSE AGAIN IN MARCH,
MOSTLY DUE TO TWO KEY AREAS
AFFECTING CONSUMERS. MOST U.S.
CONSUMERS CONTINUE TO FEEL THE
SQUEEZE OF HIGHER PRICES FOR
ESSENTIALS LIKE GAS AND SHELTER.
THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS
SAID WEDNESDAY. THE CONSUMER
PRICE INDEX INCREASED AT A YEAR
OVER YEAR RATE OF 3.5% IN MARCH.
THAT’S THE HIGHEST ANNUAL GAIN
IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS.
>> THIS HAS DEFINITELY BEEN A
SETBACK. THIS IS NOT GOOD NEWS.
IT DOESN’T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT
, THE FED OR ANYONE ELSE SHOULD
GIVE UP THE FIGHT AGAINST
INFLATION.
>> OVERALL, GROCERY PRICES
STAYED FLAT MONTH TO MONTH, BUT
THEY’RE UP 1.2% FROM A YEAR AGO.
>> I THINK, CONSUMERS CONTINUE
TO FEEL THE PINCH. I THINK
CONSUMERS CONTINUE TO COMPARE.
PRICES. TO. EVERYTHING BECOMES
MORE EXPENSIVE, AND THE COST OF
AUTO INSURANCE WAS UP 2.6% LAST
MONTH, UP A WHOPPING 22% FROM
ONE YEAR AGO.
>> GASOLINE PRICES TICKED UP
1.7% FROM FEBRUARY TO MARCH IN
METRO DETROIT. RIGHT NOW, WE’RE
PAYING 355 A GALLON, $0.07
HIGHER THAN LAST MONTH, BUT
ABOUT $0.03 LESS THAN A YEAR AGO
.
>> LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE
WEATHER PICTURE HERE. A LITTLE
COOLER THAN IT WAS YESTERDAY AT
THIS TIME. BEEN A PRETTY NICE
DAY, BUT CHANGE IS COMING.
>> WE SAW QUITE A BIT OF
SUNSHINE TOO. LET’S GET OVER TO
KIM ADAMS IN THE FORECAST. HI,
KIM.
>> HI, KIM. WELL, ALREADY THE
CLOUDS HAVE STARTED TO MOVE IN.
WE HAD THE HIGH THIN CLOUDS AND
NOW WE’RE GETTING THE MID-LEVEL
AND EVEN LOW LEVEL CLOUDS. SO
IT’S BECOMING A LITTLE GRAY HERE
IN METRO DETROIT. AND WE WON’T
SEE THE SUN AGAIN. AT LEAST THE
WAY WE DID TODAY AND YESTERDAY
UNTIL THE START OF THE WEEKEND.
65 IN DETROIT, MID 60S IN
HOWELL, 64, IN PONTIAC AND 63 IN
ADRIAN. IT’S ONLY IN THE LOW 50S
IN GROSSE ISLE AND MID 50S IN
MONROE. BUT 60S EVERYWHERE ELSE
ACROSS METRO DETROIT. HERE ARE
THOSE CLOUDS THAT HAVE ALREADY
MOVED INTO PLACE, AND THEY’RE
GOING TO STICK AROUND FOR A
WHILE. BUT AS WE WIDEN OUT THE
VIEW, YOU CAN SEE THE SHOWERS
MOVING UP FROM THE SOUTH, JUST
ABOUT TO CROSS THAT OHIO BORDER.
AND THEY WILL BE IN OUR BACKYARD
HERE IN METRO DETROIT, OVER THE
NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. THE BULK OF
IT, THE REALLY HEAVY RAIN, WON’T
ARRIVE UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT
TONIGHT, AND IT’S GOING TO STICK
AROUND A WHILE TOMORROW. IN
FACT, TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND
EVENING, EVEN SOME SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS AS MUCH AS AN INCH
OR TWO OF RAIN WILL FALL IN THE
