>>> TIME FOR WEATHER, STACY IS HERE.

NOT THE NICEST DAY TODAY, BUT THERE IS A LITTLE LIGHT ON THE HORIZON.

>> Stacy: YES, SUNSHINE IS IN THE FORECAST AND THEN WE WILL SEE CLOUDS BREAKING UP IN PARTS OF THE AREA TONIGHT.

A LOT OF SUNSHINE TOMORROW, THERE COULD BE LIGHT RAIN, FREEZING RAIN, OR SNOW IN PART OF THE AREA BUT OVERALL, IT LOOKS LIKE SUNNY WEATHER AS WE HEAD INTO THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK AND WE SHOULD SEE [♪♪♪] >> AND NOW THE WEATHER WITH STACY CHRISTENSON.

[♪♪♪] >> Stacy: WELL, IT WAS MOSTLY A GRAY AND GLOOMY DAY TODAY.

WE HAD SOME COOL TEMPERATURES OUT THERE AND A FEW SPRINKLES AND SNOWFLAKES IN THE AIR.

WE WILL BE SEEING LINGERING PRECIPITATION COMING TO AN END AND PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES OVERNIGHT TONIGHT.

THE CLOUDS SHOULD CONTINUE TO BREAK UP SO WE DO HAVE SUNSHINE IN THE FORECAST FOR TOMORROW, ALTHOUGH SOME OF US COULD ONCE AGAIN HAVE A FEW RAIN, FREEZING RAIN, OR SNOW SHOWERS OUT THERE.

RIGHT NOW IN BEMIDJI, IT'S 38 DEGREES AT THE AIRPORT.

WINDS AT THE STUDIO ARE NORTHWEST AT 4 MILES PER HOUR, THE DEW POINT IS 23, HUMIDITY IS AT 56%.

IN BRAINERD, WE HAVE CLOUDY SKIES, 40 DEGREES, 21 IS OUR DEW POINT, PRESSURE IS HOLDING STEADY, AND WINDS ARE WEST AT 6 MILES PER HOUR.

ON OUR SATELLITE AND RADAR, WE HAVE BEEN SEEING A LOT OF CLOUD COVER IN THE AREA THROUGH MUCH OF THE EVENING AND EVEN A FEW STRAY SNOWFLAKES, A FEW SPRINKLES OUT THERE.

AS YOU CAN SEE, WE'RE STARTING TO SEE THE CLOUDS BREAKING UP IN NORTHWEST MINNESOTA.

OVERALL, WE'RE LOOKING AT PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, WITH ANY LINGERING PRECIPITATION COMING TO AN END.

ANOTHER COOL NIGHT TONIGHT AND TOMORROW WE WILL BE SEEING COOLER THAN AVERAGE TEMPERATURES, WARMER THAN TODAY, MOST OF US SHOULD HAVE HIGHS IN THE 50s AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE SHOULD HAVE SOME SUNSHINE, ALTHOUGH SOME PARTS OF THE VIEWING AREA COULD SEE MIXED PRECIPITATION.

SOME WEATHER SHOTS TO SHARE WITH YOU TONIGHT, WE HAVE THE WILD HONEY SUCKLE FROM CHRISSY IN DEERWOOD AND JOAN SPOTTING SOME PRETTY YELLOW FLOWERS IN LAPORTE.

THE BLUE JAY IN THE BIRDBATH FROM ARLENE IN MENAHGA.

SAMROSE SAYING THERE WERE SOME SNOW FLURRIES OUT THERE OVER UPPER RED LAKE TODAY AND ANGELA SENDING US THIS PHOTO.

WE DO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF THAT SUNSET THERE IN THE DISTANCE IN CASS LAKE.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THOSE TONIGHT.

FOR OUR EAGLE EYES REPORTS, ARLENE IN MENAHGA, 31 WITH A LIGHT BREEZE THIS MORNING.

CHRISSY IN DEERWOOD, A HIGH OF 47.

ARLENE IN LONGVILLE, CLOUDY AND BREEZY, THE HIGH WAS 41.

JOAN IN LAPORTE, OVERCAST WITH SOME STRAY SNOWFLAKES.

STEPHANIE IN BRAINERD, OVERCAST, THE HIGH WAS 42.

ANGELA AT CASS LAKE, PARTLY CLOUDY WITH SNOW SPRINKLES OUT THERE, THE LOW TEMPERATURE 27.

ON OUR ALMANAC, 43 WAS OUR HIGH TODAY IN BRAINERD, SO AGAIN VERY COLD OUT THERE, MORE THAN 20 DEGREES BELOW OUR AVERAGE, WE HAD A LOW OF 34 AND SUNSET AT 8:32.

BEMIDJI TODAY TOPPING OUT AT 41, SO THAT IS EXACTLY 20 DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE.

32 IS THE LOW AND SUNRISE THIS MORNING AT 5 MINUTES BEFORE 6:00.

SO OUR FORECAST, LOOKING AT TOMORROW AS I MENTIONED, WE WILL START TO SEE SOME OF THE CLOUD COVER BREAKING UP, BUT THERE IS A POTENTIAL, ESPECIALLY IN THE EASTERN PART OF OUR VIEWING AREA OF SEEING SOME LIGHT RAIN, FREEZING RAIN, OR EVEN SOME SNOW.

TEMPERATURE-WISE, WE WILL START TO SEE WARMER TEMPS, MOST OF US WILL HAVE HIGHS IN THE 50s, COOLER ACROSS THE FAR NORTH, BUT SOME LOW TO MID-50s ACROSS THE REST OF NORTHERN MINNESOTA WITH HIGHS IN THE MID-50s, MAYBE SOME UP 50s IN CENTRAL MINNESOTA.

SO OUR FORECAST TONIGHT, PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH LOWS NEAR 26 AND VARIABLE WINDS UP TO 10.

PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY TOMORROW, BUT THERE IS THE CHANCE OF SOME RAIN, FREEZING RAIN OR SNOW IN EASTERN MINNESOTA, HIGHS NEAR 52.

LOOKING AT OUR WEEKEND FORECAST, WE WILL BE SEEING PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES RIGHT ON THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

HIGHS NEAR 61 ON FRIDAY, 58 ON SATURDAY, BUT WE DO COOL OFF A LITTLE BIT ON SUNDAY, BUT AS WE START THE WORKWEEK, WE ARE ANTICIPATING HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID-60s, WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN.

BACK TO YOU.

>> Dennis: THANK YOU STACY.

CHARLIE IS HERE NOW.

TIMBERWOLVES GOT GAME 1 IN THEIR SERIES WITH THE SPURS.

>> Charlie: YES, THEY WERE ABLE TO STEAL THAT ONE AND TONIGHT, TRYING TO TAKE A 2-0 SERIES LEAD BACK TO MINNESOTA.

WE HAVE THE HIGHLIGHTS AND MORE COMING UP AFTER THE BREAK.

[♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] >> AND NOW YOUR LOCAL SPORTS WITH CHARLIE YAEGER.

[♪♪♪] >>> AS OF THEIR GAME TWO TIP-OFF TONIGHT, NONE OF THE TIMBERWOLVES HAD BEEN ARRESTED, DESPITE THE HEIST THEY PULLED OFF ON MONDAY, STEALING GAME ONE OF THE WESTERN CONFERENCE SEMIFINALS FROM THE SPURS.

THAT'S GOOD NEWS, BECAUSE SAN ANTONIO HAS LOST TWO GAMES IN A ROW ONLY 4-TIMES ALL SEASON LONG, AND THE WOLVES NEED ALL HANDS-ON DECK IF THEY PLAN TO TAKE A 2-0 SERIES LEAD BACK IN MINNESOTA.

GAME 2 FROM SAN ANTONIO, ANTHONY EDWARDS COMING OFF THE BENCH AGAIN AND HERE LATE IN THE FIRST, DOWN BY 7.

HE DROPS THE TRAY TO CUT IT TO 4.

HE HAD 8 IN THE FIRST HALF.

SECOND QUARTER NOW, JULIUS GOING TO WORK.

OH, THAT'S TOUGH.

HE ALSO HAD 8.5.

NO TIMBERWOLVES IN DOUBLE DIGITS.

CONVERSELY, THE SPURS HAD 3 INCLUDING THIS GUY.

VICTOR AND THE SEQUENCE EPITOMIZING THE THREE POINTER, THE BLOCK, AND NOT LOOKING GOOD FOR THE TIMBERWOLVES.

RIGHT NOW THEY'RE TRAILING 70-47 IN THE THIRD.

THE TWINS DIDN'T FAIR MUCH BETTER EITHER.

>>> TO SAY BRAINERD SOFTBALL HAS OWNED THEIR RIVALRY WITH BEMIDJI AS OF LATE WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT.

THE REIGNING SECTION CHAMPION WARRIORS HAVE WON THEIR LAST 12 MATCH-UPS WITH THE LUMBERJACKS DATING BACK TO 2018.

BUT COMING INTO THIS AFTERNOON'S DOUBLE-HEADER IN BRAINERD, THE JACKS WERE RIDING A FOUR-GAME WINNING STREAK, AND IT FELT LIKE THEY MIGHT FINALLY BREAK THROUGH.

IN GAME ONE, STILL SCORELESS TOP SIX, CLARA SHERWOOD GOT ALL OF THAT ONE, PUTS A DENT IN THE SCOREBOARD, HOPE SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT, BEMIDJI UP 2-0.

AND THAT'S ALL KARLEY LAZELLA NEEDED IN THE CIRCLE, SHE WENT THE DISTANCE, GIVING UP JUST ONE RUN, STRIKING OUT SEVEN.

LUMBERJACKS BEAT THEIR RIVAL FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 8-YEARS, 2-1 IN GAME ONE.

IN GAME TWO, THE BRAINERD BATS CAME ALIVE, TOP FIRST, RUTHIE OWEN, NO DOUBTER HOME RUN GIVES BRAINERD A 1-0 LEAD.

NEXT INNING, AFTER SCORING ANOTHER RUN, TWO ON FOR HADLEY ERLANDSON, TOUGH POP UP DOWN THE LINE, JACKS UNABLE TO MAKE THE PLAY, PLATES TWO WARRIORS TO MAKE IT 4-0.

AND THEN A 9-RUN SEVENTH THAT SAW 13-BATTERS COME TO THE PLATE HELPS BRAINERD BEAT BEMIDJI TO SPLIT THE DOUBLE-HEADER.

>>> BLACKDUCK SQUARING OFF AGAINST CHERRY.

BOTTOM OF THE SECOND, BASES LOADED.

ANNA POKES ONE THROUGH THE INFIELD.

BLACKDUCK GETS A 2-0 LEAD.

HERE IN THE 6th, BAILEY DEEP SHOT TO LEFT, SCORES NORA FROM FIRST TO MAKE IT 6-3.

THEN IN THE SEVENTH, RUNNERS ON 1st AND 2nd, ANDERSON COMES UP WITH AN R.B.I.

SINGLE.

NEXT BATTER, ISABELLE CLUTCH HIT OF HER OWN, TIES THINGS AT 6-6.

THE GAME WOULD GO TO EXTRAS.

TIGERS HAVE TWO IN SCORING POSITION FOR CHRISTINA, SHE CASHES IT IN, START OF A 5-RUN INNING FOR CHERRY.

11-8 THE FINAL THERE.

>>> A COUPLE OTHER SCORES FROM AROUND THE AREA.

AITKIN WINS.

IN BASEBALL, GRAND RAPIDS FALLS TO DULUTH DENFELD.

WALKER GETS THE WIN OVER PINE RIVER-BACKUS.

LAKE OF THE WOODS TOPS RED LAKE.

>>> WELL, FORMER NEVIS RUNNER JADE RYPKEMA, WHO WON FIVE STATE TITLES IN TRACK & FIELD, AND ANOTHER IN CROSS-COUNTRY, IS SETTING RECORDS AT HER NEW SCHOOL, NORTH DAKOTA STATE.

ON APRIL 16TH, THE SOPHOMORE BROKE A 40-YEAR-OLD BIZON RECORD IN THE 10,000-METER RUN, FINISHING IN 35-MINUTES AND 4.42-SECONDS AND CLEARING THE PREVIOUS RECORD BY 7-SECONDS.

RYPKEMA TRANSFERRED TO NDSU THIS YEAR FROM GONZAGA, WHERE SHE SET HER PERSONAL BEST TIME IN THE RACE AT 34-MINUTES AND 45.01-SECONDS.

FUN FACT, HER HIGH SCHOOL COACH, TOM STAMBAUGH, WAS AN ALL-AMERICAN AT NDSU.

>> Dennis: GOOD TO HAVE HER BACK IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

>> WHAT HAPPENS TO THE PREGNANT POSTPARTUM WOMAN IS THAT SHE DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THESE ARE SYMPTOMS.
