Today, lawyers representing both
the Louisville Urban League and
its former president appeared
in court for a hearing about a
pending misappropriations lawsu.
The two sides will meet again on
July 27th for arguments on whetr
or not to dismiss the case.
Here's what happened here.
Doctor Kish Kuni Price alleges e
was unjustly fired from her job
as the nonprofit's president for
bringing up financial discrepan.
The lawsuit alleges Price was
quote informed of and began to
witness what she believed was te
misappropriation of grants and r
funds on her first day in the new role.
Lawyers for the Urban League say
Price can't prove anyone from te
league told her to break the la.
If the league ever broke any la,
we want to get to our weather
now because Alden,
for the first time in a very,
very long time, we're seeing a little
bit of sunshine across Kentuckyd
it feels like it's been a minute
sunshine and actually dry weather all
day too. So that is a nice reli.
But it has been very beneficial rain for
us and we haven't been too hot either,
which is also good news. Normally this
time of the year we can be sweltering.
87 was our high today, just a couple of
degrees of shy of normal, which is 89.
And we're still sitting at 87 at this moment.
A bit humid, feels like 90 degrees out there,
but there is a decent breeze heg
to mix up that air a little bit.
So it doesn't feel too bad.
That breeze out the northwest at 10 mph,
looking at Max HD radar, largely dry.
But we do have a couple of isold
showers up to our northeast rigt
now moving through North Vernon,
and it's heading southward toward the
Madison area in Jefferson Count.
Indiana, but otherwise you can expect
to dry weather for us throughout
the course of tonight.
We don't really have too much
showing up around our area,
couple of showers back to our northwest,
but I don't really anticipate those will be
causing much a problem for us for tonight.
Now we're going to be staying mostly dry
for our 4th of July holiday tomorrow.
We could have a couple of isolated downpours,
but I don't anticipate that ruig
any outdoor plans that you have ahead.
I will stop Futurecast.
Hour by hour for tomorrow,
we'll see when the best chance of maybe
seeing a stray shower could be great.
