No Kings Rally in Yankton: More than 250 people turned out Saturday morning, amid chilly and windy conditions. I believe this may have been the biggest crowd they've had for these rallies.

Unseasonably warm temperatures continue through the weekend across the Southwest and southern U.S.

Elevated to critical fire weather conditions will persist across the southern Plains today, moving into the central Plains and Southeast U.S on Saturday.

Check weather.gov for your local forecast.

We lost a titan. A true consigliere. An actor who made every scene better just by his presence, Robert Duvall.

RIP to a Godfather of Hollywood.
