They'll be competing at Trevecca Nazarene University's Trojan Fieldhouse today and tomorrow, with games starting bright and early at 8 a.m. both days.
Now, let's talk weather. We've got a Storm 5 Alert for this coming Sunday, with severe storms possible. Make sure to stay tuned to your local weather updates and plan your weekend activities accordingly. For today, we're looking at partly cloudy skies with temperatures in the mid-70s – perfect for enjoying some outdoor events.
Speaking of events, mark your calendars for CMA Fest, which returns to Music City from June 5th through 8th. It's always a highlight of our summer, bringing in country music fans from all over the world.
In transportation news, if you're planning to head out of town this weekend, be aware of some lane closures on Interstate 75 in Hamilton County. TDOT crews will be doing concrete repairs starting tonight at 9 p.m. and continuing through Monday morning. Expect delays and consider alternate routes if you're heading that way.
On a somber note, our community is mourning the loss of two lives in a tragic three-vehicle collision on Whites Creek Pike. Our thoughts are with the families affected by this incident.
In more positive news, we're excited about the groundbreaking of the Pearlene M. Bransford Park. This new green space will be a wonderful addition to our city, providing more outdoor recreational opportunities for residents and visitors alike.
