welcome those are to have
you with us hope you had a
really nice Memorial Day
weekend is it me it's
something seem a little off
about the Memorial Day weekend
in what way well, I mean we
all know what the weekend is
for you know we want to give
thanks to the who serve us
every single day in and out
some who give their lives for
us but you know it's a long
weekend and all of that and
typically one is outside one
is grilling, one is swimming.
Things such as that not
million up wearing sweatshirts
and cleaning out the garage
which is what I did because
I'm that cool I did yard work,
Every week again that's just
obligatory but it just seems
so strange to me it was a nice
time don't get me wrong, but
it just I'm sure you felt the
same way in some ways it was
quieter, I didn't notice all
the activity.
That you normally because
it's it's like the unofficial
start of summer right right
for your body is out there
doing stuff not necessarily
this time you know and and we
have lots to get to today.
Bruce reporters in with
dollars and cents to Dale get
us up to speed on risk
volatility yeah, lots of
volatility, sure we could all
use a vacation.
And travel guru Shelly
Williams will join us with a
couple of incredible European
River cruise opportunities.
Also we have a really freaky
watch list idea for you,
especially if you like to
watch the weather and will
hear from our friends in
entertainment tonight.
And I'm already to back
time but before we get to all
of that. When it comes to the
Ozarks weather lately. It
seems. There's one question.
That's on everybody's mind. So
we thought we'd have KOLR 10
chief meteorologist Jamie
Warner to drop in and answer
that question. Yeah, we are a
little obsessed with the
weather today can you tell.
Welcome Jamie here is the
question what the heck is
going on with this what I was
going to be witnesses in. And
when it was it it to one who
had you on when his way to
summer cake you know looking
back at the spring season.
A meteorological speaking
that is March April may so
with us now into June we are
now into the meteorological
summer June July and August
so. Before we talk about the
summer outlook, let's talk
about what happened in the
spring and as everybody knows
it has certainly been a wet
spring. We had lots of rain in
March we had almost a half
inches of rain in the month of
March, my goodness but March
came with warmer than normal
temperatures after that
brutally cold February. Well
then things went the other way
and we got in April and April
was precipitation was pretty
near normal about half an inch
above normal. Temperatures ran
about a degree below normal
and that may be hard to
believe given the snow that we
had on April 20 start to say
the little blizzard that we
have right came down good when
it came it was really
interesting snows it because
it came down real hard it
accumulated and then by the
end of the day it was gone
yet. So getting their We had
almost 9 inches of rainfall
temperatures ran 3 and a half
degrees below normal. So all
that said generally this
spring was as most people
probably realize cool and wet
unusually cool wet. The good
news with that is that's
severe weather okay that's the
tradeoff now as we get into
the month of June folks want
to occur where do we go from
here. You know if you would
ask me back at the end of this
past winter. Given it being a
la Nina winter I would have
said they were probably
looking at hotter and drier
conditions going into the
summer. But we've seen such
wet conditions this spring. I
think we're going to find is
we're going to find a cooler
and wetter than normal summer
across the middle of the
country but we are going to
summer we're going to and
folks are thinking hey we got
to be hit 90 typically on
average we don't hit 90 for
the first time until June So
yeah we're getting there we're
getting close all hope is not
lost her bid for transition
rather than that 2 days of
spring and then yeah next
month some summer right, so
it's a transition Jamie Jamie,
thank you so all right just
had to check for sure all
right coming up Bruce Porter

dollars and cents go away
