Holy rain and lightning, Batman!



Really came down earlier this morning with some significant lightning as well. Gonna be really nice the rest of the week with high temps hovering around 80° for the next few days.



In the news this morning, the latest on the Holmen robbery suspect, the search for a wanted MN man in Vernon County continues, a rare sub-tropical wood stork was spotted in Wisconsin over the weekend, the most recent updates on Hurricane Erin, and Terence Stamp died over the weekend at age 87.



In sports, the Brewers 14-game winning streak was finally snapped yesterday by the Reds, Craig Counsell got caught in a lie about George Webb burgers, the Packers beat the Colts on Saturday, and the Bucks signed Amir Coffey.



Elsewhere in sports, results from this weekend's NASCAR race, the punishment handed down to Michigan for the sign-stealing scandal, and a former Badgers basketball coach is being sued by several of her former players.



Cool story about a bunch of grandkids who surprised their grandmother with a trip to Hawaii, and a guy who found a lost wallet in a car that he was working on.



We let you know what's on the boob-tube today/tonight, and we also talked about a possible lawsuit over window seats on airplanes.



Plus, the states that scroll the most on their phones, a subscription service from Volkswagen, and the possibility of Taylor Swift performing during the Super Bowl halftime show.



And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a teacher who got a DUI on the second day of school, a hiker who got trapped behind a waterfall for two days, a man in Connecticut who got stuck in a slide on a playground, a #FloridaMan dressed as a jester who threatened another guy with a dagger because he was too loud while mowing his lawn, a guy who was on the "I Am A Stalker" show on Netflix got busted for stalking, and a MN woman who thought her neighbor was "murdering & raping" people...so she shot her.
