Hello, welcome to Midlands Today. The headlines: success on a plate - | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
record sales figures for a pottery firm in the week we sank back into | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
recession. They know that it is going to be reliable, be the best | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
value and they trust the company. Paralysed after a hit and run crash | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
last year, now amazingly he walks out of hospital. | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
A truly inspiring - 50 years on, a retired pilot recalls putting the | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
finishing touches to Coventry Cathedral. | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
And manager Alex McLeish says he will shoulder the burden as Aston | :00:43. | :00:53. | |
:00:53. | :01:05. | ||
Good evening. Welcome to Friday's Midlands Today. Tonight in the week | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
we officially entered a double-dip recession, a pottery firm announces | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
record sales figures and plans to build a new factory. Steelite | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
International based in Stoke-on- Trent has seen its sales jump by | :01:18. | :01:26. | |
9.4 % over the last year, to �66.3 million. Profits reached �7.9 | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
million as the company announced it is to create 230 jobs by building a | :01:30. | :01:37. | |
new factory. But the overall economic picture remains next. | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
This factory is home to the UK's biggest tableware manufacturer. | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
Steelite International's record sales figures come as the company | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
is about to expand. It will create more than 200 jobs. It is about | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
making sure we have the right skills going forward so that we can | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
fulfil the orders. 18-year-old Dan Stone is one of eight apprentices | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
at the company is taking on. I have many friends who struggled to get | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
jobs who actually have studies, College, University and then myself, | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
and other friends who have experience finding it easier to get | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
jobs. As a result of healthy order books, production has increased. Up | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
to half a million pieces of chinaware are made here every week. | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
The fact that this is made in Britain has driven demand in | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
markets including the United States and Asia. Oh round-the-world there | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
is a lot of trust, a lot of faith in made in England and made in | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
Stoke-on-Trent. People know they are going to get a good quality | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
products, that it will be reliable, they know it will give them the | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
best value and they trust the company and they trust the area to | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
produce great products. But in a week where the economy officially | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
double dip into recession, conditions remain challenging. | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
would anticipate that later in the year growth will resume, but it | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
will be what the Americans call by and large jobless growth. Back on | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
the factory floor, those continuing concerns mean the outlook is still | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
tough. Energy prices have a big impact. Nevertheless, this firm is | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
leading the way in a resurgence in the pottery industry. | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
Joining us is the director for the Confederation of British Industry | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
in the West Midlands, Richard Butler. We have a bad picture | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
nationally but somebody like Steelite International doing really | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
well. How typical is that company? Et is fairly typical. We should not | :03:48. | :03:56. | |
beat ourselves up about figures of the recession. We have had some bad | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
news today. The Pritchard Group going into administration. They are | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
in property development. Is that typical a picture of the | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
construction industry? It does appear that construction has taken | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
the bulk of the economic difficulties but we need to look at | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
some of the opportunities and if you are servicing the UK at | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
difficult markets, and it is quite promising. Where will be the | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
crewmen come from? Unemployment figures dropped last month but we | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
are still above the national average. We are and our region has | :04:31. | :04:38. | |
been historically above the average. The success will come from my new | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
factory -- manufacturing industries. We are optimistic and have plans | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
for taking on the people. What are they looking to to increase | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
business? The main trend is being fairly aggressive in their approach | :04:52. | :04:59. | |
to international markets. In the UK, UK population is 1% of the global | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
population. 99 % of global markets are overseas. Companies need to | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
look more actively at international markets and opportunity is. | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
A motorcyclist who endured months of gruelling treatment after a hit | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
and run driver left him for dead fulfilled his dream of walking out | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
of hospital today. John Parsons was initially left paralysed as a | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
result of the crash and feared he would never walk again. Three have | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
been following his remarkable story. 24-year-old John Parsons is | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
realising a dream. His movement is slow and laboured, but his desire | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
to one-day walkout of a specialist orthopaedic hospital is what has | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
kept him going. He was initially paralysed after being knocked from | :05:45. | :05:54. | |
his motorbike by a hit and run driver on the A500 in January. | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
lost for words. I just want to go home now. It has taken so long to | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
get this far. It is amazing. John, from Stafford, spent seven weeks | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
lying on his back paralysed from the waist down after his spine was | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
fractured in several places. Then longer still in physiotherapy. | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
Today it was time to say goodbye to a fellow patients and to those who | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
have treated him. I feel like I have had everything I always wanted | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
and it has all suddenly come, like a dream come true. The future is | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
very bright for John. He will eventually, in my experience, walk | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
a lot better than he is walking at the moment. John is making a claim | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
for a scheme set up to compensate victims of hit and run drivers. A | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
spokesman for the Motor Insurers' Bureau said, sadly, John's is not | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
an isolated case. Every year we received 30,000 claims from the | :07:00. | :07:07. | |
victims of uninsured or on untraced drivers. They have a 1.2 million | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
uninsured motorists on UK roads. 11 of the top 20 worst postcodes are | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
here in the West Midlands. John headed home with his family with | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
his hopes now set on eventually returning to work as an assistant | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
shop manager. Staffordshire police meanwhile say they have exhausted | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
all lines of inquiry but would review the case if new evidence | :07:30. | :07:37. | |
comes in. Gloucestershire Police's Chief | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
Constable has announced he is resigning in protest at the | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
introduction of elected police commissioners. Tony Malvern is | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
leaving after to Mickey is in the job saying he has grave concerns | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
about the current police reform agenda. | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
Campaigners against an illegal gypsy site say they will defy an | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
order to take down their protest camp. Residents in Meriden have | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
maintained a round-the-clock vigil for nearly two years close to a | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
group of gypsies who set up camp without permission. Protesters have | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
until Sunday to move. The gypsies say it is the residents who are now | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
breaking the law and have accused them of hypocrisy. We will not take | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
moral lessons from people who have a long-standing of unlawful | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
activity. We are here to campaign and we will not cease until the | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
green belt is restored. It is less than a week to go until voters go | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
to the polls. So far much of the focus has been on referendums in | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
Birmingham and Coventry over directly elected mayors but there | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
are also a series of important town or contest taking place. 18 | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
councils are holding elections next Thursday when a total of 351 seats | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
will be up for grabs. Among them is Tottenham which is currently the | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
only council run by the Lib Dems. - - Cheltenham. Can they hold on to | :08:56. | :09:03. | |
Cheltenham's council offices give this town a genteel appearance but | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
it's politics is a rather different. Since the borough was created 40 | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
years ago, only the Lib Dems and Tories have run it and Labour at | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
present do not have a single seat. Their bigger rivals regularly do | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
electoral battle. The last time power shifted was in 2008 with the | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
Lib Dems overhauling the Tories to take control. But that was before | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
the parties got together at Westminster. The Lib Dems hope | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
people can consider local issues when they vote. They are | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
philosophical about the party's loss of support elsewhere. I have | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
not seen any signs of that. I always remind people that I want to | :09:43. | :09:52. | |
seek Tottenham on the opinion polls. Anything is possible. -- Cheltenham. | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
And the doors of voters in Cheltenham get more political | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
visitors than most places. Elections for half the council | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
seats are held every two might years. That is something the Tories | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
want to change. The first thing we would do is talk to the Boundary | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
Commission and say look at this, or reduce the number will have | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
councillors. The big thing we would do is move the elections to once | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
every four years. Why are we spending taxpayers' money on having | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
elections every second year? Leaving the Tories and Lib Dems are | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
to attack each other suits the leader of the other group, the | :10:31. | :10:40. | |
people against democracy. We have no interest in the well-being of | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
either the Conservative Party or the Lib Dems. What we are | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
interested in is doing what we believe is best for Cheltenham. | :10:49. | :10:56. | |
Campaigning is intense. We will know the results in a week's time. | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
Our political editor Patrick Burns joins us from outside Birmingham | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
city council house. The Lib Dems battling to keep control in | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
Cheltenham. They have quite a fight on their hands elsewhere. | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
Absolutely. They are fighting for their very lives not just in | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
Cheltenham but here in Birmingham and Newcastle under Lyme where they | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
are the junior partners with the Conservatives. But there is a lot | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
more riding their in Cheltenham. No surprise Nick Clegg has been there. | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
Traditionally, although the party is languishing on 11 % in the polls, | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
they have had a record of campaigning strongly. But I'm sure | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
of Mr Clegg has been doing his best to bolster their local credentials. | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
Well for Labour it is the opposite. They are fighting to gain new | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
ground. Yes, the key thing about the seats is that the last time | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
they were contested was four years ago when the Tories were on a roll. | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
It is hard now for Labour not to gain ground by comparison because | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
he in Birmingham, they need only four more seats to displace the | :12:06. | :12:13. | |
Conservative, Lib Dem coalition. Similar targets Walsall and in | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
Cannock Chase. What is in this for the Conservatives? Just damage- | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
limitation? They are bracing themselves privately for a | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
difficult week, but they do, at the moment they do have majorities in | :12:28. | :12:38. | |
:12:38. | :12:38. | ||
nine councils. Rugby is another big one. There they need 22 seats to | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
retain control. Plenty for you to talk about in this week's Sunday | :12:42. | :12:51. | |
Politics. Yes we are on at fog will clog on BBC One. There is more | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
about the referendum on electoral mayor's also. | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
Still to come: it will not stop raining, are things looking better | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
for the weekend? A weekend of two halves. Drier weather for Saturday | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
but it will stay cloudy but for Sunday, it is turning very wet and | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
very windy with the potential to see localised flooding. 84 forecast | :13:14. | :13:24. | |
:13:24. | :13:27. | ||
Police have released photos of drivers stealing petrol from | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
service stations. A crime known as bilking and according to petrol | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
retailers it has become endemic. In Wolverhampton there have been more | :13:35. | :13:41. | |
than more -- 80 cases since the beginning of March. Some of the | :13:41. | :13:49. | |
industry want people forced to pay up. Sergeant Colin Mattinson shows | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
me where the latest spate of petrol best have taken place. The drivers | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
who are stealing it were caught on camera after filling their cars | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
with petrol, they drove off without paying, the number plates are | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
stolen. Across the city there have been 83 similar crimes in the last | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
two months. There has been investments particularly in this | :14:11. | :14:20. | |
station up with CCTV, which helps us track down those offenders. | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
Bilking has forced Shailesh Parekh to turn detective. He regularly | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
checks numberplates that pullup. this service station, I last �3,000. | :14:30. | :14:37. | |
RMI petrol has say bilking is endemic across the UK. From talking | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
to their members they reckon accidents have doubled and they are | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
blaming the recession for the high cost of fuel. Police launched an | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
operation to tackle bilking and incidents in the first four months | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
of this year fell by 37 %. But retailers say a growing problem is | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
the number of people filling up and then claiming they cannot afford to | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
pay. I would like all stations to follow what they do in America | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
where you have to go into the kiosk and pay first. Police say they hope | :15:09. | :15:16. | |
these images will encourage anyone 50 years ago today, the finishing | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
touches were being put to Coventry's new cathedral. The RAF | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
came in to hoist the bronze spire onto the roof in a delicate and | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
precarious operation, and one of the pilots involved all those years | :15:25. | :15:32. | |
ago has been back to inspect his handiwork. | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
50 years ago today this RAF Helicopter made a short but | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
historic flight when it was used to lift the 80-foot bronze spire onto | :15:38. | :15:48. | |
:15:48. | :15:52. | ||
The pilots were John Dowling on the left and Ron Salt on the right. | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
John has since passed away but Ron is in good health and has decided | :15:56. | :16:06. | |
:16:06. | :16:07. | ||
to see his endeavours from all So with the help of West Midlands | :16:07. | :16:17. | |
:16:17. | :16:26. | ||
Fire Service he was taken onto the Just get that over...! That is it. | :16:26. | :16:36. | |
:16:36. | :16:37. | ||
Wonderful. We came from that direction all along the roof. It is | :16:37. | :16:47. | |
:16:47. | :16:47. | ||
good. Well worth seeing like theirs. We did not have a roof like this at | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
the height like this to practise with. We just had a flat airfield. | :16:52. | :16:59. | |
It was well worth doing what we did because we came here full of | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
confidence, probably cheekily so, but it worked. | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
This was nearly called off because of the menacing weather, but we | :17:08. | :17:17. | |
have just managed to find a gap in the clouds, and Ron is delighted. | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
I'm so thrilled to see Commentary now as I have never seen it before. | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
-- to see Coventry. It is a thrill to look over the city and see it | :17:28. | :17:35. | |
has developed so much. With his visit at an end, it was | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
time for Ron to return to his family home in Wiltshire. But he'll | :17:38. | :17:46. | |
be bring back stories of another memorable visit to Coventry. | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
A brave man! Now with a look ahead to a crucial | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
weekend in the football calendar, here's Dan Pallett. | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
Aston Villa have three games left to hang on to their Premier League | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
status. And just to add a little extra spice tomorrow, they make the | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
short trip to West Bromwich Albion. Today both managers said they | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
believed Villa would avoid relegation. So now it's up to Alex | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
McLeish to deliver the goods. Ian Winter has been to meet him. | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
He walked in knowing he faced some tough questions. And typical of the | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
man, his answers were straightforward. But it was the | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
team's slump in performance that has made them angry. | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
Have you ever seen such abuse as the other night? | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
I don't hear individual shouts. I hear the Boeing, but I was | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
disappointed. But he knows Aston Villa's | :18:37. | :18:47. | |
:18:47. | :18:50. | ||
condition is critical. They have Do you feel you are in a no-win | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
situation? I don't see it that way. If we stay | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
in the division, I will be much happier about the future. | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
You would be. But would that play KP Aston Villa fans? | :19:04. | :19:11. | |
I can only try to win them over. But are the fans willing to be won | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
over? The Albion boss watched Tuesday's defeat by Bolton, and | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
today he said he would be surprised if Aston Villa went down. But he | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
added, nothing is unthinkable. The club statement in midweek was | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
meant to clarify the situation. But it has muddied the waters. | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
It was a statement for the last three games. That is as far as we | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
should be looking. Does that sound like a man who is | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
making plans for next season? Probably not. But if the next three | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
games are his last, he can't afford to see Aston Villa take the lead | :19:47. | :19:54. | |
and then lose at West Brom, as they did earlier. | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
Relegation and promotion issues could be settled in Leagues One and | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
Two this weekend. It means fans of Walsall, Shrewsbury, Cheltenham and | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
Hereford are either dreaming of glory or fearing the worst. It's | :20:02. | :20:11. | |
It's their last away trip of the season, and it could be their last | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
in the football league for a while. Hereford United are bottom but one | :20:15. | :20:21. | |
in League Two. They're two points from safety, and the fixture hasn't | :20:21. | :20:27. | |
been kind. The problem for Hereford is their | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
last two Danes are tough. -- two games. | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
We are trying to stay positive. We know we have got two massive games. | :20:37. | :20:47. | |
We have got to stay positive and take the positivity into the game. | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
Walsall have also got that sinking feeling, especially after losing | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
their last three matches. Fan Paul Leadbeater has been to almost 2,000 | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
games. He's part of a passionate hardcore hoping for survival. | :20:58. | :21:05. | |
We have got a hard core of 3,500. To be honest, they are very loyal | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
supporters. I just hope for them as much as the football club and the | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
town that we can do it. But Shrewsbury are very close to | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
heading in the other direction. They need just one more win for | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
automoatic promotion from League Two. They'll hope to do it at home | :21:22. | :21:29. | |
against Dagenham and Redbridge. Cheltenham Town must use the play- | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
off route now. But the manager's keen to keep the pressure off the | :21:32. | :21:41. | |
players. There's no point over-emphasising | :21:41. | :21:47. | |
things. They know what is at stake, what they want to achieve. | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
It's a weekend when our clubs could be on the move. They'll hope it's | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
only in an upwards direction. So a nerve wracking weekend awaits | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
many of our clubs. You can follow every twist and turn on your BBC | :21:57. | :22:03. | |
local radio station. Finally, some worrying news for | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
Birmingham. They have not published their financial news again today. | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
They could have an embargo until July. | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
The creator of an iconic television theme tune, the man behind the | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
legendary 2-Tone record label and an influential soul singer have all | :22:16. | :22:25. | |
been celebrated in their home city A Gloucestershire company has | :22:25. | :22:35. | |
:22:35. | :22:36. | ||
managed to sell tea to China. I need a cup of tea! It exports to 45 | :22:36. | :22:46. | |
:22:46. | :22:50. | ||
Some things never change, but if it was not for the Chinese emperor in | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
2007 BC, things might be different. Since then, it is China that has | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
had most of the tea market in the bag. | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
When you think about it, nothing is so British as having a cup of tea. | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
We have been drinking it for hundreds of years. But we can't | :23:05. | :23:14. | |
claim that he is our own. -- that tea is our own. So can we tell -- | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
sell tea to China? This company is doing that. They | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
produce 80 million bags per year, most of which go to places around | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
the world. The way that the Chinese see | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
products is different to places like Germany, France and the Middle | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
East and Australia. We have to really focus on making sure that we | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
have the right translation, and China is now looking at the gift of | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
health. They want to buy healthy products. | :23:48. | :23:58. | |
With a variety is for throat relief, it is tea with an extra kick. It is | :23:58. | :24:04. | |
in high demand. The tourists are still lapping it up. | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
We had a lot of Spanish a few weeks ago. We had to show them how to | :24:08. | :24:14. | |
pour the tea. They loved it. They said they don't get anything like | :24:14. | :24:22. | |
it in their own country. These were 16, 17 year olds. What if the | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
Emperor could see this? Would he agree? Brother Billy yes. -- | :24:28. | :24:38. | |
:24:38. | :24:44. | ||
That is something! Now the weather. We have certainly had a very wet | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
month, would almost double the monthly rainfall. For this evening, | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
it is staying cloudy and it will be a damp one ahead for most of us. We | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
hold on to a few showers this evening. The rain will reinvigorate | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
tonight. Eventually we see that died out towards the morning. | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
Temperatures will dip to three of four Celsius. For this weekend, it | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
is a weekend of two cars. It looks cloudy by drier on Saturday, and | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
Sunday Liz very wet and we are going to see the Winslow -- Sunday | :25:20. | :25:28. | |
looks very wet and we are going to see the winds picking up as well. | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
It is staying cloudy for much of the day on Saturday. A very limited | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
amount of brightness. Temperatures will peak at around 11 all 12 | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
