FORECAST-WXWALL

SPRING TYPE WEATHER ARRIVING

Did the title catch your eye? I'm sure it did… It's true, too. Spring time weather is arriving, but it'll only be here for a few days before another cool down takes over.

So enjoy it while it lasts!

Friday through Sunday will be gorgeous. I'm forecasting partly cloudy skies and no rain. Perfect beach weather, grilling weather, golfing weather, boating weather… You get the idea - the weather will be perfect. Mid 80 degree temperatures will accompany the sunshine. The beaches will be a little cooler though because of the afternoon sea breeze.

Monday will serve as our day of transition as a cold front approaches from our northwest. We'll begin seeing more cloud cover, and by Tuesday/Wednesday we'll have overcast skies with periods of showers.

Grab those rain coats! Oh, and grab the sweaters while you're at it because temperatures will drop into the upper 60s to lower 70s in wake of the front. Morning lows will be in the 50s.

SETTING UP A FAIR IS NO EASY TASK.

BUILDING THE RIDES, SETTING UP THE GAMES AND MOST IMPORTANTLY

MAKING SURE EVERYTHING IS SAFE.

CERTIFIED STATE INSPECTORS HAVE BEEN AT THE FAIR SINCE MONDAY MAKING SURE EVERYTHING IS OKAY TO RIDE.

BUT BEFORE THEY GET HERE, QUALIFIED INSPECTORS ON STAFF ARE ALREADY CHECKING THE SAFETY.

SOT: Rickey, "That's just the first line of defense, that's in house everytime we move we have to have a 3rd party state inspector come out."

STU: "On top of that, there's a foreman running each ride."

AND THEY'RE ALL EXPERTS ON THAT PIECE OF EQUIPMENT.

CHECKING EVERY BOLT, GEAR, GREASE, AND SAFETY BAR.

AND IF YOU'RE WORRIED THAT TEARING DOWN AND PUTTING THESE RIDES BACK UP MAY CAUSE PROBLEMS.

CARNIVAL WORKERS SAY THAT PROCESS HELPS THEM MAINTAIN EACH PIECE OF EQUIPMENT.

SOT:

Rickey Reithoffer, Carnival Manager "Everytime we move we have to be looked at again whereas amusement park rides are stationary. Sometimes people worry about having the rides torn down and set up each week. At the same time by taking them apart we get to see on the inside what's wearing and what needs to be replaced and really get to do a lot more maintenance than if you have the rides set up completely."

AND IF IT DOESN'T PASS THE STATE INSPECTOR'S LIST. THE RIDE SIMPLY DOESN'T OPEN.

THE INSPECTORS HERE HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT ALL 47 RIDES SINCE MONDAY.

FORECAST-WXWALL

SPRING TYPE WEATHER ARRIVING

Did the title catch your eye? I'm sure it did… It's true, too. Spring time weather is arriving, but it'll only be here for a few days before another cool down takes over.

So enjoy it while it lasts!

Friday through Sunday will be gorgeous. I'm forecasting partly cloudy skies and no rain. Perfect beach weather, grilling weather, golfing weather, boating weather… You get the idea - the weather will be perfect. Mid 80 degree temperatures will accompany the sunshine. The beaches will be a little cooler though because of the afternoon sea breeze.

Monday will serve as our day of transition as a cold front approaches from our northwest. We'll begin seeing more cloud cover, and by Tuesday/Wednesday we'll have overcast skies with periods of showers.

Grab those rain coats! Oh, and grab the sweaters while you're at it because temperatures will drop into the upper 60s to lower 70s in wake of the front. Morning lows will be in the 50s.

THEN GROCERY STORES.

"Snapper was the most commonly mislabeled fish. it was often replaced with something like rockfish but if you look closely the filets are different. and if you look back at the fish's skin they are really different

"you can always buy the whole fish that way you know exactly what you are getting"

AT RESTAURANTS IT'S MORE DIFFICULT-
