MONDAY WEATHER DISCUSSION (07/08/2024)
(OLNEY/NEWTON) With one more day of dry weather conditions on tap after a sunny and dry weekend, the remnants of Hurricane Beryl are forecast to bring a swath of possibly heavy rainfall to some parts of our downstate area tomorrow into Wednesday. Anywhere from two to four inches of rain is possible before we dry out towards the end of the work week, and of course, the amount of rain we receive is dependent on the weather track. It’s for this reason that the National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for all of our downstate listening area Tuesday through Wednesday night. Then after all the rain, heat and humidity will build back into our area for the upcoming weekend. Stay tuned for updates and monitor a NOAA Weather Alert Radio for more weather forecast details.

SUMNER CITY COUNCIL
A new sign is coming soon for the new Sumner City Hall. The city council moved Tuesday night to spend approximately $3000 to create a 4′ by 3′ by 6″ thick marble structure to be placed in front of the new location on South Christy Street. It will be made by Adams Memorials from Olney, Ill and will take about 45 to 60 days to install. Once that occurs and the new flagpole is put up, Mayor Betty Brian tells Giant FM WAKO News that a formal dedication and ribbon cutting will take place. The city is also ordering a bronze 22″by 18″ plaque that will be placed outside the front of the new City Hall.
