Yeah there's a lot going on
under public right now I mean
people love the community like
to talk about the 4th of July
festivities become I heard you
look at what's going on just
around about that how we have
a lot of things that we bring
the community involved in to
see the 4th of July.
Festivities we have pumpkin
days in the fall, so we still
like to get the community out
and about so I think people
love to be a part of a
community a sense of
community. Our school district
is one of the big draws that
we have also location I 44
James River like it's a very
appealing location alive.
David though, though like
pumpkin days is that also
right here at the park where
is that in our downtown area.

for families because you feel
a little bit away from

A lot of great business.

of businesses grow or see the
businesses we have before is
just really exciting and it is
this is a great place to raise
a family I mean go out you
look around our trails see
people out walking moving
around in the Cox fitness
center know the sea.
Community people know each
other by name. I think that's
something that's telling happy
when you go into place or
breakfast, someone calls you
by name I think that's
something very special that
can get lost in a bigger city
that is true I like the small
town feel and you've got a lot
of hidden gems here in
Republic, lots of little
boutiques some great places to
eat and we'll highlight some
of those today we're really
excited to be here. Yes. I
coffee that here today, I mean
that's a place you go and
socialize have a meeting with
other folks and just a nice
quiet place for you can talk
to your business but at the
same time you walk in you'll
get to see your body
throughout the day is just 3
points speak.
And what I've noticed
because I drive around the
time is I know it's growing
Republic is growing because
you have all that expansion on
that main road coming in you
know huge and the construction
on the roads I can tell people
are excited because that
traffic there seems to be
every time I come here a
little bit more traffic as
people are buzzing about
Republic. Yeah a lot going on

of hope this coming in the
Andes project like I said it

houses under construction.

weather we've got to find out
what that moisture is all
right call T Days guys funny
because you're talking about
the chill and there's a little
shorts and short sleeves on a
walk the dog this morning,
it's well above average out at
least in terms of where we
should be for this time of the
year.
In Springfield. We're
starting off with temperatures
in the upper 50's that South
southeasterly wind at around
11. We're looking southwards
camera just outside.
Our studios here in really
we're quiet satellite. Mayor
does not have a lot of
in the Ozarks FOX viewing area
but looking to the north and
the West. That's where we have
some more cloud cover and
that's where attention is
going to turn to you later on
today as our next cold front
begin to work on and ahead of
it we're in the 50's and 60's
all across the region 60 in
Fayetteville. We're in the
middle 50's in mountain Grove,
four-letter Rolla at 58 also
58 around Lake of the Ozarks
in a walking forecast we're
saying good morning to
Charlie. Temperatures will be
great to walk your later on
this afternoon upper 70's. If
you get out maybe get out on a
longer one today because
tomorrow is not going to be
that nice to be out with them
if you didn't get the mow the
done before the rain moves in
today's great tomorrow look at
this yeah forget it risky most
of the day with those towers
and there's thunderstorms
moving on and that's going to
be big headline as we head
throughout the next 24 hours
cloud cover moving in.
Temperatures back in the mid
to upper 70's, this afternoon.
What we're watching next is
this shower and thunderstorm
activity working at a Kansas
Missouri Arkansas tomorrow
morning. And that's where we
have the potential for some
storms with small hail maybe
brief gusty winds. But we
start to see a recognition of
afternoon, especially we can
clear out that will add
instability into the
atmosphere and helped fire
those up we can't completely
rule out an isolated tornado.
But it's something we're going
to continue to watch the risk
is out West first. It moves
eastward tomorrow still wanted
to add a 5 a better chance to
our South and more moisture
more instability in the
atmosphere but make sure you
stay weather aware,
nonetheless our certified most
temperatures cooling down.
Thursday we ran back up into
the upper 70's ahead of
another front which moves
them. Bring a chance of rain
Friday night into Saturday,
we're back in the middle 70's
on Sunday guys.
All right and that is
whether with that coming up
we're talking with Sherry
Roberts of Cox fitness center
here Republic don't go
anywhere we'll be right go.
