Okay... it's been a very hot weekend.... hopefully you found a way to stay cool. Heat Advisory until 10pm tonight. Horrific and tragic results following flash flooding at a camp ground near the Ark-La-Tex region.
It's a new day here at the television station... our "HD" conversion is taking place. Please be patient while we strive to bring you our normally outstanding broadcast quality.
Big weekend with the St. Jude Golf Classic this weekend in Memphis....
Wrap up in BASKETBALL NASCAR HOCKEY and GOLF !
Did you go to the movies this weekend to stay cool? Several new choices... but overall quality may be lacking... this summer at the box office, slim pickens for quality entertainment.
I love stories like this... makes you think about YOUR OWN legacy... once you are gone.
ROAD TRIP... I'll bet the kids would go crazy for this.
Astronomy buffs... you HAVE To check this out... a comet in view?

HOT!
...
the "Heat is On" folks... We're looking at mid 90's over the weekend, with Heat Index values topping 105. Let's be careful out there! Flash Flood watch for much of Arkansas.
In the NBA what happened with the Lakers and the Celtics last night?
On tour with the PGA, it's in our back yard this week... how will our "local" golfers do?
That 16 year old girl... trying to be the youngest to "sail around the world" ran into trouble...

Tee it up!
...
No matter how hard I try, it's hard to keep "FedEx St. Jude Golf Classic" from coming out of my mouth. I know it's the St Jude Classic brought to you by Smith & Nephew, now that the previous sponsor ran into serious financial troubles. Locals will be on the look out for John Daly and Loren Roberts.
Fed Ex now sponsors like the entire tour! Round one, starts this morning... expect a few weather related interruptions. They bring with them serious weather equipment... including "lightning detection" devices.
IF you are heading out to enjoy the golf... remember: Lots of water, light colored, loose fitting clothes, lots of breaks, check on friends and loved ones, know where shelter is, in case of thunderstorms.
It's official... and she couldn't be more happy with the court's document.
Her name is Willow, she has a style all to herself and isn't afraid to show it. She comes from a famous family, and her brother is about to star in a new action film.
Was it just me... or did you hear they were expecting Twins....? So what is it?
She's no longer "sweet, adorable little Miley" anymore... now is she?
Got Milk? Uh, I mean, Camel Milk? It may be doing the body good
Seen the new commercial for the latest iPhone?

Mid-week Warm up
...
Scattered Showers and T-Showers this morning... then a break... with more rain likely later this afternoon! Even a slight risk for severe weather today.
Will the weather hold for the golf tourney here in Memphis that starts with round 1 tomorrow?
A slow moving storm moving out of Texas may interfere with our weather later in the week.
Want to be a part of NASA? You can send your FACE into space on one of the two remaining Shuttle flights... here's how.
Taking your picture on your cell phone? It may be outdated... check out the latest iPhone from Apple.
Baseballs latest "phenom" live up to his hype?
Lakes and the Celtics, Game 3.
When you have the "big bucks" I guess you can get someone like Elton to come and sing at your wedding, even if it's wedding number four.
Oh, Lindsay, Lindsay, Lindsay...... too old for a babysitter!
His final requests... it's a sad state of affairs.

back at it.
...
It's back to work for most... after a hot, hot weekend. How's the weather looking for this week? Well, here's the forecast. The "golf tournament" on the PGA tour comes to Memphis this week.
It was the maiden fligh
t of the SpaceX Falcon rocket Saturday. This was a test mission, will this vehicle help bring US crew members to the ISS?
In "sinkhole" news, this is the most amazing sink hole I've ever seen in all of my life. The picture almost looks fake. It's almost incomprehensible.
In NBA basketball...
Our local contestants may not have made it to the finals, but we are proud of them none the less... who was the big winner in this years "Spelling Bee?"
I was out "mowing the yard" the other day... it just takes a while to do the hedges.
If you are moving, maybe this is a bit more economical.
I finally move up to a "big boy" phone with the HTC HD2, only to find there is already a bigger, badder, newer phone out there.
I fear, more and more pictures like these... are going to be stuck in our long term memory. Emotions run deep. Anger, frustration, sadness, fear.
I love clams and scallops... and I'd have to at least give this a try.
For Charlie Sheen, one drama is about to come to a close, but another one may be starting. Have you seen who his "Ex" is seeing now? I'm telling you, you simply cannot write this stuff in Hollywood. It's just, beyond me.
Talk about a "rash" of notable passings as of late. Here's a list in case you have been "out of the loop." The year is not even half over yet... take a look back at "who we've lost" in 2010. The latest, a basketball legend, just one year short of the century mark.
Be sure to check that video (from our Daybreak Videos) about the "Osama Bin Laden" boarding pass.
TOO attractive to be a banker... oh, this woman will get her money.

Hot, Hot, Hot!
Here's why you have to be SOOO careful about what you leave in your car during the summer heat.The latest on what you can expect today (and for the rest of the week) here in the Mid-South.
That 2 year old "2-pack a day smoker?" Momma is trying to get him help.
The latest on the "Two and a half Men" star, and the price he'll have to pay for recent events.The buzz words are: "Minimal Jail Time"
Look at who is at Number 54 on this "ultimate" IDOL list!

Holiday Weekend
...
It's almost
here, that long holiday weekend you've been waiting for. Just a few changes in the Mid-South weather pattern, fewer showers now likely for the weekend, not GONE all-together mind you... but just "not as much rain," now...
They just can't catch a break in the nrotheast.
American Idol winner... a bit of a surprise?
ATLANTIS home safely.... a re-cap of 25 years of service.
In Passing, a remarkable man who spent almost a hundred years on earth.
Ellen has started her own record label, and who is the first artist she has signed?

More heat....
...
We'll be watching for a "break in the heat" but it's looking more and more like it won't be until the "end of the week" that we'll be seeing that.
Storms continue in the center of the country today
It's "Hurricane Pr
epardness Week" and we may be talking about Hurricane Alex... a week before hurricane season officially begins. www.stormpulse.com
This storm, named or not, will continue to affect the Atlantic Coastline.
Space Shuttle Atlantis, closer to coming home... on what "most likely" will be it's final mission. We talked yesterday about contingency plans for this shuttle.
Another list, another poor showing for Memphis.
If you like cats, well, kittens to be more precise. Go ahead and click here, worth your 30 seconds.
Can you believe how crazy this whole "Silly Bandz" thing has gotten? Check it out with a google search. They are all available for a price!

Heat is on
...
Hope you were able to find a place to "stay cool" over the weekend. Temperatures flirted with the "record high" mark, but did not surpass. Today's record high, is the forecast high of 93. It will NOT surprise me if we are talking about record high temperatures in the Mid-South over the next couple of days.
Information about the funeral services for fallen officers can be found on our website, wreg.com
The worst of the weather, severe threat wise, is across the northern plains into the Dakotas.
Did SHREK live up to its history at the Box Office over the weekend?
So, what did you think of the "LOST" finale? Or the "Apprentice" outcome?
Here's some shocking news out of Hollywood this morning, husband of Brittany Murphy, dead.
Another look at the condition of the Shuttle Atlantis, now that it
has departed from the ISS, and then on its way home. Is this the last mission for Atlantis? That's what we keep hearing, but Atlantis will be the designated "rescue shuttle" for the final two missions, and there's been talk of ONE more Atlantis mission next summer, so don't break out the moth balls just yet.
Redemption. Taylor Hicks is actually doing very well.
AND, it's not Taylor, but at 7 feet, 8 and a third inches tall, he's tallest, (in the USA) put it in the book.

Friday, find the AC
...
And by "find the AC" I'm not referring to my good friend Alex Coleman. Or our Mayor, AC Wharten. I'm talking "air conditioning" about "cooling off," as temps climb into the weekend, nearing 90 for most areas. Most pools don't open til the end of the month, right?!?
As our temperatures climb, the threat for severe weather diminishes, but rolls to the east.
Chances are good many families will be hitting the movie theatres to find cooler air. They'll likely be going to see the finale of this incredibly successful franchise.
There is a TON OF NEWS coming out of Hollywood. If you have a question, I'll bet it's answered here.
I "pity the fool" who forgets his birthday, on this date in 1952... still see him on commercials!
Do you "tweet?" Are you on "twitter?" Are you aware that everything you've ever said on Twitter is saved, in the Library of Congress?!?
Who knew, that stealing "$100 million" worth of art could be this easy?
Here's something I just learned about this morning, and I"m sharing it with you, the story of "Malcolm and Martin."

Wet Thursday
...
Rain returns today, a Flash Flood Watch remains in effect.
Heaviest of the rain later tonight. We'll keep an eye on the Severe threat for you as well. Heaviest rain potential arrives later this afternoon and evening.
I'm not watching, but it's down to 3. It appeared a long time ago, that the young woman was a heavy favorite to win it all.
After singing his song on Ellen the other day, the "hits" just keep coming. He's at almost 18 million you tube views. The audio is much better from his performance on the Ellen show. Meet Greyson Chance and his version of "Paparazzi"

Temperature Turn around
...
After yesterdays incred
ible weather, get ready for ch-ch-changes... Slow warm up today, rain tomorrow and then H-O-T for the weekend. There is a chance for nasty weather to develop across the Mid-South tomorrow afternoon and evening... please stay alert to rapidly changing weather conditions. Today's "Severe weather threat" appears to be well to our west.
And if you are still confused about the difference between a "Landspout" and a Tornado, this may help. It prompted "Tornado Warnings" Sunday evening.
She's growing up, and out of her role as Hannah Montana. Miley Cyrus is looking to get serious with her acting career... as her very popular show has been "Wrapped!"
Locally, we just saw her on the "Extreme Home Make-over," now she's sharing the love with the woman who won an Oscar, portraying her in the hit movie "The Blind Side."
I've found another "summer home" for sale... may want to check it out.
He's on the "road again." Former Beatle hitting the stage this summer.
News from Hollywood... or Ocala, FL... a baby on the way?

Beautiful Weather
...
This is going to be one of the nicest days in a long while. Minimal rain chances, sunshine, north winds, temps in the 70's. Especially when you take a glance at the long range forecast. Rain before the end of the week and then just HOT for the weekend. Take advantage of todays great weather!
Some of my fondest memories... while working there... and it's BACK!
Google is stepping up to the plate and announcing a mistake they've made, it appears innocent.
Even though I feel this show is nearing the end of its run, I think I can handle another 2 and a half years. I couldn't believe that Charlie would walk away from this cash cow.

Weather wise... we're improving quickly for the first part of the week, after a wet weekend.
A big congrats to the local team that took home "TOP HONORS" at the BBQ fest.
Problem is, more wet weather may be with us by the end of the week.

Weekend!
...
We've made it. Time is running out for you to get down to Tom Lee Pork and enjoy the fun and festivities that the Memphis in May World Championship BBQ Festival offer. Let's shorten that to: "MIMWCBBQF" well, that's not very short is it?!?
Meeting and greeting and mixing business with pleasure is part of the festival.
Another celebrity break up. Not sure this one comes as a big surprise.
Shuttle Atlantis due to launch at 1:20 this afternoon, weather permitting. Final mission of the Atlantis. Off to the ISS for a supply run and delivery of a Russian Science module.
See this kid? Apparently 8 million hits on You Tube. It's pretty amazing, on Ellen yesterday. CBS talked about him Thursday morning, and on Letterman (I think) Thursday night.
Cyndi Lauper talks about her new album Memphis Blues. Due out July 22nd.

BBQ Fest!
...
It's that time of year... BBQ fest, officially, the "Memphis in May, World Championship BBQ Cooking Contest." The weather will hold for today, little concerned about some showers moving through overnight and tomorrow as well. Much like the music fest, a little rain isn't going to slow these hearty souls down.
Severe weather threat is just to our north and west today.
Who is NOT coming back on IDOL?
Now for some "GOOD NEWS" from Hollywoods elite.
And the "NOT SO GOOD NEWS" from the world of Hollywood.
Final mission for the shuttle Atlantis will begin Friday afternoon 1:20pm... launch from KSC if weather cooperates. Off to the ISS to deliver supplies and a Russian science module.

Mid Week warm up
...
Temperatures are climbing across the Mid-South today and tomorrow. We'll be nearing 90 with some gusting southerly winds. Cooler for the weekend, but be on the look out for scattered showers.
Another round of severe weather for the central plains?
TWO plane crashes in the news lately, one with local ties, the other in Libya this morning. It's believed weather may have played a part in the later.
Live in Mississippi? Looking for work...? It appears they are looking for "Clean up technicians" for those willing to take it to the coast. Not sure what the pay is. Here's how the story read this morning on Daybreak:
PREWETT ENTERPRISES IS HOLDING CLASSES FOR PEOPLE INTERESTED IN HELPING IN THE OIL SPILL CLEAN UP EFFORTS IN THE GULF.
THE CLASSES START AT SEVEN-30 THIS MORNING AT THE FACILITY ON STATELINE ROAD IN WALLS.
FOR MORE INFORMATION...CALL 662-781-2780.
APPLICANTS MUST BE A MISSISSIPPI RESIDENT AND BE ABLE TO PASS A DRUG TEST.
Guess who's been in town for the past couple of weeks, flying low under the radar?
If you haven't been to the Memphis Zoo lately... expect changes, good changes from the "food department."

A windy and warmer day ahead... Temps will be climbing for the next several days, and highs near 90 should be expected. Scattered showers should also be expected during this period of unsettled weather. Remember the "HIGH RISK" for severe weather we talked about yesterday?
Baby names... there's a trend, and its tied to a popular movie.
A first of its kind, one of a kind theme park. Check this out!
I'm not sure I'm "on board" with this. I mean, I love the product, but don't need the tease.
NASCAR Carl Edwards fans... your vote is requested.
Who are the contestants, hoping to become the next "Food Network" star?
Fan of the Beatles, maybe John Lennon in particular? Lyrics up for auction, but they are going to set you back.
I hadn't thought much of "time sharing" out the family boat, but if you are interested and ready to hit the "high seas" be sure to check out the re-model.
And with the economy the way it is, we've decided to let go out summer home in Vermont.
From the NWS: Rainfall totals from the historic "once in a lifetime" flood of May 1 and 2, 2010:

Wet Start to the week
...
Wow, what a beautiful weekend. That all comes crashing to an end bright and early this morning, with rain likely here
in the Mid-South. Turning WINDY and Warmer tomorrow. A threat for SEVERE weather will be across the central plains this afternoon.
A look back at what Nashville is "Still" dealing with.
In Jacksonville, FL, the TPC "Players Championship" of golf... Tiger had to withdraw, and a surprise "First Time" champion emerged.
In NASCAR over the weekend, a rare sweep by the number 11, go FedEX.
In Baseball... a "Perfect Game" thrown over the weekend.
As a photographer, he was "tickled pink" to get these shots!
The entertainment world has lost one of its greats.

No Pants day?
...
Windy and warm... today, as our coldfront rolls through with little fanfare. Rain will be mainly to our north. COOLER weather still expected for the weekend.
There is a threat for severe weather, just to our north for later today and tonight.
I'm not sure if your office is participating... but here's something to "liven up your Friday."
In Golf news, it's the TPC "Players Championship" in Jax this weekend, Tiger will drop from his Number ONE golfer in the world status without a good finish. It appears Lefty (Phil Mickelson) would be the new number, with a good showing.
A little "Meteor Shower" action for you this weekend?
She said she was ending her singing career and going towards acting, but apparently she has a few more "songs" in her. Her latest video is turning heads.
Um, let's hope not. a "Hyper-Inflationary Great Depression?"
William Shatner made "HOW MUCH" for his work with "Priceline?"

Weekend almost here
...
Tomorrow is Friday, a day we all look forward to, but at the same time, I have been looking forward to the Coldfront that is due in this weekend. It means a break from the heat and low 70's for Saturday and Sunday. Friday, expect some gusting Southerly winds in advance of that cold front... which appears to be bringing most of its rain, well to our north.
Oh, and BTW, the tornado count from last weekend is up to 13.
Here's video from the Nashville area. Here is the statement from the Nat'l Wx Service in Nashville from Sunday night. The numbers on this map are just incredible.
Help, for Nashville is coming from an unlikely source.
Did you enjoy "Cinco de Mayo"? Did you know it is one of the "Drunkest Holidays?"
A letter from Dr Stephen Hawking. He wants to build a time machine.

Mid-Week
...
Temperatures will be running a good 10 degrees above normal for this time of year, and we are watching our next big cold front, getting ready to move across the area Friday. That will cool things, down, briefly. For updates on weekend damage, try the NWS home page.
Here's more on the flooding going on in Middle Tennessee.
For the latest on the "clean up" efforts in the Gulf of Mexico.
How are you doing with our "Million Dollar Madness?" Remember two chances each morning on Daybreak from 6-7am and again one chance in the 10 o'clock show. $300, AND $100 in lottery tickets, spend 'em anyway you wish. Powerball, Mega-Millions, scratch offs.. Click on the link to the left for complete information about this promotion.
Tiger Woods may soon lose his "Number 1" ranking in the world of Golf. They are off to the un-official "5th Major" this weekend as the TPC hosts "The Players" Championship in Jax, FL. There is little doubt in who would take his place.
Getting ready for the "show" but she's only 12. Amazing story of a young girl, with a big league pitching arm.

Recovery
...
The flood waters are slowly coming down... trouble and problems continue in Millington, around the Mid-South and especially in Nashville. We showed you clips of this yesterday. We have a reporter on his way to Dyersburg to report later today.
You thought the Delta/Northwest merger was big? This one is even bigger.
Do you or someone you know, suffer from Asthma? Did you know today is WORLD Astma Day?
OH, what to wear, what to wear. How about the SAME THING for an entire year?
Watching Golf over the weekend... Great final round by the eventual winner, turns 21 today. If you want to watch the highlights...
OH, FYI, this blog posts at 4:40 am...
If you read this, and miss the morning Trivia, shoot me a note, and I'll put it back in.

Unprecedented
...
Incredible amounts of rain from the weekend, it's going to be days, if not weeks and months before things get back to normal. The Nat'l Weather Service has re-issued a "Civil Emergency" notice. Travel toward Nashville on I-40 is impossible.
Lots of coverage on our website. www.wreg.com Here's a link to closings.
Thanks to all that took time to send in your pictures to document this historical weather event.
OUR MILLION DOLLAR MADNESS CONTINUES! Your chance for $300 and $100 worth of lottery tickets, two times this morning on Daybreak, and again tonight on News Channel 3 at 10.
We're so busy with weather today we didn't have time for Trivia... but here are a couple of interesting items for you to look at in "today's history."
In Daybreak Trivia: The Great Fire of 1901... and the last show in this series, airing on this date.

Soggy Weekend
...
It's looking more
and more like a "Very wet" weekend ahead, starting with 
the showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. Here's a look from the Severe Storms Prediction Center. AND, if you need even more, from the Memphis Nat'l Weather Service office.
Here's a chance to share with the Mid-South who YOU think is doing a great job.
So, how will this "adverse weather" affe
ct the "Kentucky Derby?"
Does the Memphis area have a "Smog Season?" I don't think so, Atlanta does!
This can't be good. Five times larger than first thought?
Not everyone is happy with the recent "Cast off" from AI. What they are doing about it.
More from Sandra after her big announcement, where her adopted baby comes from. And.. who tops "People Magazine's " World's most beautiful people list?
Potato chips that are getting a "Make over" do you think they'll be "as good?"
Here's something I hope ou take a moment to watch: Neil Diamond, doing good deeds, un-noticed.
In Daybreak Trivia: This famous train engineer lost his life on this day... he's from Jackson, TN, and this rockabilly singer was born on this date. It's a busy morning on Daybreak, so we didn't have time to bring you these trivia questions on air...
