Potential for some snow a.m. Monday—and graupel as well, even into the afternoon. Warmer Pattern Shift taking shape

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:03:35 GMT

Monday's set up is very similar to Sunday's. We'll find ourselves stuck in the trough in the jet stream that will lead to more chilly temperatures. Strong WNW winds will wrap around the low and gust up to 40 mph during the day. Waves of energy also wrapping around the backside of the low will also be responsible for more widespread light showers. Once again, there's the potential for some snow in the morning and some graupel as well, even into the afternoon.  The low will still be influencing Tuesday's weather with plenty of clouds, breezy NW winds and the potential for spotty to widely scattered showers.  At we'll we see warmer weather as the week progresses.A big shift in the weather pattern appears to be on the way in the 6-10 day and 8-14 outlook.  An upper-level ridge building into the center of the country and eventually the Midwest is expected to push temperatures above average.  Next Sunday is currently forecast to be warmer than average and that warmth is likely to continue...

UK’s diverse communities ambivalent about king’s coronation

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:03:35 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Musician Deronne White is ready to play on King Charles III’s coronation day. The flautist and his fellow young musicians aren’t playing anything regal or solemn — they’re planning to parade through south London’s streets entertaining crowds with an uplifting “coronation carnival” set mixing gospel, jazz, grime, disco and rap. There’ll even be a calypso take on the U.K. national anthem.While he’s excited about the gig, White says he has mixed feelings about the coronation. Like some others at the Brixton Chamber Orchestra, White is a descendant of migrants from Jamaica — a former British colony and Commonwealth member that wants to cut its ties with the monarchy and has called for the U.K. royals to address their historical ties to slavery.“Personally it’s a little bit hard to connect to the whole occasion,” he said. “I think that the coronation could possibly allow people like me to try and connect to (the monarchy). But it can be a bit tough.”Towns, cities and villag...

Name etched in gold, King Charles’ school remembers him

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:03:35 GMT

LONDON (AP) — King Charles III hasn’t even been crowned yet, but his name is already etched on the walls of Hill House School in London. A wooden slab just inside the front door records Nov. 7, 1956, as the day the future king enrolled at Hill House, alongside other notable dates in the school’s 72-year history. There is a photograph of staff welcoming the then Prince Charles on his first day of school, and another of the 7-year-old boy getting into a Ford Zephyr with his bodyguard for the short trip back to Buckingham Palace. To say Hill House is proud of its royal connection as Charles prepares for the coronation ceremony on May 6 would be an understatement.“It’s just so fun to think the king went to our school,” said 11-year-old Lola Stewart. “Like, he’s worn our uniform. He’s probably been in this room. It’s just very exciting knowing that.”Charles, the first U.K. monarch to be educated outside the palace walls, began his school career at Hill House, although he spent less than ...

PARIS (AP) — The pioneering French stage star Sarah Bernhardt was one of the world’s most famous women by the time of her death in 1923 — a status she owed not just to acting talent but her modern instinct for self-publicizing and using the press to brand her image.A century later, a French museum opened an exhibit on the eccentric, scandalous and multihyphenate performer known as “La Divine,” whom many consider the world’s first celebrity.At the Petit Palais museum in Paris, the public is now discovering the madcap jigsaw puzzle of Gothic stories, costumes, recordings, films, photos, jewels, sculptures, and personal objects for the first time together–– that made Bernhardt an object of fascination from Berlin to London and New York.“Sarah Bernhardt was more than a famous actress. She was one of the first celebrities. She was a businesswoman, a fashion icon, a sculptor, theater director, a visionary, a courtesan. She pushed gender boundaries. By self-publicizing, she paved the...
