SOME OKLAHOMA FEDERAL OFFICES COULD BE ON THE DOJ’S CHOPPING BLOCK. WE’LL HAVE THE LATEST DETAILS ABOUT WHAT AGENCIES THIS COULD IMPACT HERE IN OUR STATE. COMING UP. A CHILLY START TO YOUR SATURDAY, BUT IT WON’T STAY THAT WAY ALL DAY. METEOROLOGIST JOSEPH NEUBAUER HAS YOUR UPDATED FORECAST. PLUS, WHEN WE COULD SEE THE NEXT CHANCE FOR SEVERE WEATHER. ALMOST 8:00 ON YOUR SATURDAY. OKLAHOMA. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WAKING UP WITH US. I’M SHELBY MONTGOMERY HERE WITH METEOROLOGIST JOSEPH NEUBAUER. TODAY, EXPECT A SUNNY 60 AFTERNOON. TOMORROW, THOUGH, IS WHEN WE SEE THOSE STORMS. YEAH. CHANCE FOR SEVERE WEATHER TOMORROW. STORMY NONETHELESS. SECOND HALF OF SUNDAY. SO THAT’S WHY I REALLY WANT PEOPLE TO GET OUT AND ENJOY WHAT WE HAVE HERE FOR TODAY. HERE ON SATURDAY. GOING TO BE BEAUTIFUL TODAY. OH YEAH. 60S SUNNY. LET’S GO OUT THERE RIGHT NOW A LITTLE CHILLY, BUT WE’RE WARMING UP 49 AT WILL ROGERS SITTING IN THE UPPER 40S. LOWER 50S HERE AT THE TV STATION WHERE THIS CAMERA IS GOT 46 DOWN IN PURCELL NORMAN TECUMSEH AS WELL, 46 IN CHANDLER STILL READING, 28 OUT OF KINGFISHER, PROBABLY A DELAYED READING THERE. AGAIN, NOT ALL OF THESE SITES YOU SEE COME IN INSTANTANEOUSLY. I MEAN, IT TAKES TIME TO GET THE DATA FED TO US FROM THESE SITES, I WOULD WAGER. NOW, AT THIS POINT, WE’RE PROBABLY ALL KIND OF CLIMBING OUT OF THE 30S AND MORE LIKE INTO THE 40S. AT THIS POINT. YOU SEE ENID AT 39. 43 UP IN PONCA CITY. THEY HAD A FREEZE TODAY. STILL HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A NORTHEAST WIND. 1015 THROUGH THE MORNING, MAYBE LIGHTING UP A LITTLE BIT. LOTS OF SUNSHINE LATER THIS AFTERNOON. WE’RE GOING TO BE IN THE UPPER 60S, REALLY COMFORTABLE DAY AFTER OUR CHILLY START. WANT YOU TO ENJOY YOUR SATURDAY BECAUSE SUNDAY I JUST RAISED THE CHANCE OF RAIN. THE CHANCE OF RAIN ON SUNDAY FOR THE OKC METRO IS NOW A LITTLE BIT HIGHER. HIGHER CONFIDENCE ON THUNDERSTORMS. ALSO A RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER. WE’LL CHAT ABOUT SUNDAY AND THOSE CHANCES FOR RAIN AND STORMS COMING UP NEXT. WEATHER ON THE FIVES. SHELBY. JOSEPH, THANK YOU SO MUCH TO BREAKING NEWS. NOW A CRASH INVOLVING A SEMI ON I-35 IN SOUTHEAST GRAND HERE IN OKC IS CAUSING SOME MAJOR BACKUP THIS MORNING. SO TAKE A LOOK. THIS IS A LIVE LOOK AT THE AREA WITH AN ODOT CAMERA. ONE LANE IS OPEN. YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THAT TRAFFIC STARTING TO BACK UP THERE. IF THIS IS PART OF YOUR COMMUTE YOU DO WANT TO AVOID THIS AREA. WE’RE GOING TO KEEP YOU UPDATED AND LET YOU KNOW WHEN THIS IS BACK OPEN. AND THIS MORNING WE CONTINUE OUR COVERAGE OF DOJ’S BUDGET CUT EFFORTS. RIGHT NOW, SEVERAL OKLAHOMA FEDERAL OFFICES ARE ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK. 11 LOCAL OFFICES ARE LISTED ON THE DOJ’S WEBSITE, CLAIMING THEIR CLOSURE WOULD SAVE $10 MILLION. SO THIS IS VIDEO OF THE INDIAN HEALTH SERVICE OFFICE. ONE OF THOSE 11 OFFICES WHICH WAS OPEN AND OPERATING FRIDAY. KOCO DID REACH OUT TO ALL OF THE OFFICES TO SEE IF THEY’RE CLOSED AND WHAT THEY KNOW. NOT EVERYONE GOT BACK TO US, BUT THE OFFICE OF SURFACE MINING AND REGULATION ENFORCEMENT DID SEND US THIS STATEMENT SAYING THEY’RE COMMITTED TO THEIR MISSION AND WILL CONTINUE TO STAY OPEN. WE REACHED OUT TO OKLAHOMA LEADERS IN DC TO FIND OUT WHEN OR IF THESE CLOSURES WOULD BE IMPLEMENTED. WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY RESPONSES, AND ALSO A PART OF DOJ’S EFFICIENCY EFFORTS THIS MORNING. REACTION COMING IN AFTER LAYOFFS INSIDE THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN NORMAN. THERE ARE ABOUT 800 NWS EMPLOYEES LAID OFF NATIONWIDE INSIDE THE WEATHER CENTER RIGHT NOW. A WALL OF STICKY NOTES SHOWING SUPPORT FOR THOSE LET GO. AN OU METEOROLOGY STUDENT SAYS SHE KNOWS SOME PEOPLE WHO WERE LAID OFF. I’M WORRIED ABOUT WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO MY FUTURE, AS WELL AS THE FUTURE OF MY PEERS. AND YOU KNOW, THE PEOPLE THAT TEACH ME EVERY DAY. WE DID ASK NOAA OFFICIALS HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE LET GO HERE IN NORMAN, BUT THEY DID NOT REPLY. AND DOGE SENDING OUT A NEW EMAIL. POLICY AGENCIES NOW HAVE TO GIVE INSIGHT OF WHAT THEY DO WEEKLY. ACCORDING TO A UNION SOURCE, EMPLOYEES RECEIVED THE EMAIL FRIDAY FROM THE OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT. IN THE NEWEST EMAIL, WORKERS ARE DIRECTED TO REPLY WITH FIVE BULLET POINTS OF THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND TO COPY THEIR MANAGERS. THEY HAVE UNTIL MONDAY NIGHT TO DO SO EVERY WEEK. THIS FOLLOWS A SIMILAR EMAIL THAT EMPLOYEES RECEIVED LAST WEEK. FIREFIGHTERS RESPONDED TO A THREE ALARM FIRE AT A METRO APARTMENT COMPLEX FRIDAY. HEAVY SMOKE COULD BE SEEN BLOCKS AWAY, CREWS SAID. EIGHT UNITS ARE DAMAGED. SIX OF THEM WERE OCCUPIED. EVERYONE, THOUGH, WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT OUT SAFELY. CREWS SAY THEY HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE RED CROSS TO GET HELP. FOR PEOPLE WHO WERE LIVING THERE. WELL, PEOPLE IN EDMOND WANT SOLUTIONS FOR AN APARTMENT COMPLEX THAT’S BEEN RIDDLED WITH CRIME FOR YEARS. EVEN A MURDER THERE THIS WEEK. BUT WHAT CAN BE DONE? KOCO ALEX TOOK THAT QUESTION TO TWO CANDIDATES STILL RUNNING TO BE EDMOND’S NEXT MAYOR. WE NEED TO BE FOLLOWING THE LAW AND THEY NEED TO BE SAFE. THIS WILL STOP WHEN I’M MAYOR. IT’S BEEN NEGLECTED FOR TOO LONG. IT’S GONE ON FOR DECADES AND ENOUGH’S ENOUGH. PEOPLE LIVE HERE BECAUSE IT’S WHAT THEY CAN AFFORD. PEOPLE LIVE HERE BECAUSE THEY WANT THEIR KIDS TO GO TO EDMOND. PUBLIC SCHOOLS CAN’T JUST PICK ON RENTERS BECAUSE THEY’RE RENTERS. IT DOESN’T WORK THAT WAY. MARK NASH AND TOM ROBBINS KNOW ONE PROBLEM THEY’LL BE EXPECTED TO TACKLE IS EDMOND MAYOR CRIME. AND FOR DECADES, ONE OF THE EDMOND AREA’S MOST PLAGUED WITH CRIME IS THE ROLLING GREEN APARTMENT COMPLEX ON DANFORTH AND BOULEVARD. KOCO REPORTED THIS WEEK AFTER A DEADLY STABBING AT THE COMPLEX, POLICE WERE CALLED THERE MORE THAN ONCE A DAY, ON AVERAGE, TO START 2025. IN ALL, 221 CALLS IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS, FOR VARIOUS REASONS, NASH SAYS HIGH CALL VOLUME AND A HIGHLY DENSE AREA ISN’T A SHOCKING STATISTIC. THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY HIGH CRIME, IT’S JUST HIGH CALL VOLUME. AND LET’S HELP THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BE HERE BE HERE. ROBBINS SAYS HE ALSO WANTS TO HELP THE CITIZENS LIVING THERE, BUT CLAIMS THE HIGH CALLS ARE RELATED TO CRIME. SO RIGHT BEHIND ME IS THE NUMBER ONE AREA OF CONCENTRATION FOR CRIMES AND NOT JUST BASIC CRIMES. WE’RE TALKING VIOLENT CRIMES, RAPE, BATTERY, MURDER, KIDNAPING. AND THIS HAS GONE ON FAR TOO LONG. NOW, ROBBINS SAYS HIS PLAN IS PUT PRESSURE ON THE LANDLORD TO INCREASE SECURITY AND BE MORE DILIGENT ABOUT INSPECTIONS. WE’RE GOING TO PULL THEM IN FRONT OF CITY COUNCIL. WE’RE GOING TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE REGULARLY. WE’RE GOING TO DO THE INSPECTIONS. WE’RE GOING TO FOLLOW UP. WE’RE GOING TO ISSUE THE FINES, AND THEN WE’RE GOING TO BRING THEM TO COURT. IN NASH’S PLAN, HAVE MORE CONVERSATIONS AS A CITY WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, COULD WE DO SOME MORE COMMUNITY POLICING? LET’S GET LET’S GET SOME OFFICERS TO ACTUALLY WALK THE COMPLEX REGULARLY AND GET TO KNOW THE PEOPLE. AND YEAH, SURE, LET’S HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THE LANDLORD WITH, TO BE QUITE HONEST WITH, YOU KNOW, DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO. THE GENERAL ELECTION FOR EDMOND MAYOR IS APRIL 1ST IN EDMOND ALYSE JONES KOCO FIVE NEWS. ALL RIGHT. IT IS 805. TIME FOR YOUR WEATHER ON THE FIVES. TEMPERATURES WARMING UP ON OUR MESONET SIDE OF THINGS CLIMBING OUT OF THE 30S. 45 AT OUR SITE HERE IN OKC, 48 NORMAN DOWN IN CHICKASHA. IT’S 39. STILL GOT SOME LIGHT FREEZING TEMPERATURES REPORTED UP THERE CLOSER TO THE KANSAS OKLAHOMA STATE BORDER. A LITTLE BIT OF WIND OUT OF THE NORTHEAST STILL CONTINUING. IT’S GOING TO BE PRETTY LIGHT TODAY THOUGH. A PRETTY COMFORTABLE DAY. I GOT NO COMPLAINTS HERE. IT’S GOING TO BE BEAUTIFUL. 6768 DEGREES EAST WIND AT TEN LIGHT EAST WIND. POLLEN SHOULD BE SORT OF HELD IN CHECK. SUNNY SKIES, EVEN SOME 70S DOWN IN SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA. LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT THOUGH SUNDAY GETS A LITTLE TRICKY TEMPERATURE WISE. IT’S ABOUT THE SAME TOMORROW, BUT THE THUNDERSTORM RISK AND HIGHER WINDS VISIT OKLAHOMA. BEEN A WHILE, BY THE WAY, SINCE WE’VE HAD SOME GOOD THUNDERSTORMS. SO WE’RE GOING TO CHAT ABOUT THAT. ALSO REAL WINDY TOMORROW TO WIND GUSTS. COULD PROBABLY GET UP NEAR 40. THERE WILL BE A WILDFIRE RISK TOMORROW BEFORE WE GET THUNDERSTORMS THAT MOVE ACROSS THE STATE. AND HERE IS THAT THUNDERSTORM OR PRECIP RISK. A HIGH CHANCE NOW FOR THE OKC METRO NORTHERN OKLAHOMA. SO HIGH PROBABILITIES DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND ALL THROUGH THE EVENING. AND I HAVE A RED PANEL ON BECAUSE THERE IS A LOW RISK FOR SOME SEVERE WEATHER IN A PART OF OKLAHOMA. WE DON’T HAVE A RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER IN THE OKC METRO AT THIS TIME FOR TOMORROW, BUT THERE IS
