SO THAT’S WELL BEHIND US. BUT
TODAY’S DATE APRIL 24TH IS OUR
AVERAGE LAST FREEZE IN METRO
DETROIT. UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE
GOING TO PASS THAT BECAUSE WE
HAVE A STRETCH OF LOWS THAT WILL
BE AROUND THE FREEZING MARK, BUT

EVER SEEN IN THE SPRING SEASON
MAY 29TH 1966 FINGERS CROSSED
THE WE’RE NOWHERE NEAR THAT DATE
. SO CLOUDS AND RADAR FORECAST
SHOWING THAT WE DID HAVE SOME
FLAKES FLYING, BUT NOW THAT
THOSE TEMPERATURES ARE RISING
INTO THE FORTIES, WE’RE STARTING
TO SEE THAT CHANGE OVER TO A
LITTLE BIT OF A MIX OR EVEN RAIN
SHOWERS. PUTTING EXACT TRACK 40
ON YOU CAN SEE A FEW FLAKES NOW
AROUND US, 23. OTHERWISE WE DO
HAVE SOME RAIN SHOWERS FALLING
IN OTHER AREAS. THIS KEEPS
FLUCTUATING BACK AND FORTH FROM
RAIN TO SNOW. SO DON’T BE
SURPRISED IF YOU SEE A LITTLE
SPRINKLE OR A FLAKE RIGHT NOW.

DECISION. 2024 PRESIDENT BIDEN
IS EXPECTED TO LAUNCH HIS
CAMPAIGN FOR REELECTION TOMORROW
. IT’S BEEN A LONG AWAITED
ANNOUNCEMENT AS THE RACE FOR
PRESIDENT BEGINS TO TAKE SHAPE.
LET’S GET DEBRIS JACKSON IN
WASHINGTON WITH THE RESULTS OF A
NEW POLL SHOWING WHETHER PEOPLE
WANT BIDEN TO RUN. PRESIDENT
BIDEN’S IMPENDING REELECTION BID
FACES SKEPTICISM EVEN FROM
WITHIN HIS OWN PARTY. PRESIDENT
BIDEN PREPARING TO ANNOUNCE HIS
REELECTION BID AS SOON AS
TUESDAY. PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS
SUCH A STRONG RECORD TO RUN ON.
HE HAS GOTTEN THIS COUNTRY
THROUGH THE PANDEMIC. HE HAS THE
BACKS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND
AMERICANS KNOW THAT THE LATEST
NBC NEWS POLL SHOWS 70% OF
AMERICANS BELIEVE MR BIDEN
SHOULD NOT RUN FOR A SECOND
TERM, INCLUDING 51% OF
DEMOCRATS. MANY CITE HIS AGE AS
A MAJOR REASON WHY AT 80 BIDEN
IS ALREADY THE OLDEST PRESIDENT
TO EVER SERVE. HIS ALLIES
CONTEND HE IS FIT TO DO THE JOB
ACTIVE PRESIDENT WHO WAS MEETING
THE CHALLENGES AMERICA EVERYDAY
, TOPPING THE LIST OF POTENTIAL
REPUBLICAN CHALLENGERS. FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP, WHO WAS
RECENTLY INDICTED AND STILL
FACES OTHER CRIMINAL
INVESTIGATIONS. I WILL CONTINUE
TO FIGHT FOR OUR VALUES, OUR
FAITH AND OUR FREEDOM. OUR NBC
NEWS POLL SHOWS VOTERS DO NOT
HAVE THE APPETITE FOR A BIDEN
TRUMP REMATCH. A SENTIMENT EVEN
SOME REPUBLICANS AGREE WITH AND
SO WE DON’T WANT TO REPEAT THAT
IT TAKES ALTERNATIVES, BUT THE
GOP IS DIVIDED OVER WHO SHOULD
LEAD THE PARTY. THEY’RE
SUPPORTING FORMER PRESIDENT
TRUMP OVER THESE INDICTMENTS
RIGHT AND THERE’S A LOT OF
SUPPORT. REPUBLICANS WANT
SOMEONE WHO CAN WIN IN NOVEMBER
OF 24 DONALD TRUMP IS A LOSER,
FORMER VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE
SAYS HE WILL MAKE A DECISION
ABOUT CHALLENGING HIS OLD BOSS
BEFORE LATE JUNE. WE WON AND
PRESIDENT BIDEN IS EXPECTED TO
RELEASE A VIDEO ANNOUNCING HIS
REELECTION BID AS SOON AS
TUESDAY, WHICH ALSO MARKS THE
FOURTH ANNIVERSARY OF LAUNCHING
HIS 2020 CAMPAIGN. AND
WASHINGTON JACKSON, NBC NEWS AND
THE GOVERNMENT. A GOVERNMENT
OFFICIAL BLOCK YOU ON SOCIAL
MEDIA. IT IS A QUESTION THE
SUPREME COURT JUST ANNOUNCED.
IT’S GOING TO BE TAKING UP. THE
ISSUE ORIGINATED HERE IN METRO
DETROIT. IT WAS A POLICE
SHOOTING THAT SPARKED A NATIONAL
UPROAR. THE WHITE OFFICER WHO
SAYS THAT HE’S SHOT AND KILLED A
BLACK MAN BECAUSE SHE MISTAKENLY
GRABBED A GUN INSTEAD OF A TASER
IS LET OUT OF PRISON. WHAT’S
