The good, the bad and the weird

The Good

Our heat wave should finally be coming to an end next week, reported News.KY.com Aug. 25. After record-setting temperatures the week of Aug. 20, the week of Aug. 27 should give us a break with high temperatures in the 80s and possibly the 70s by the end of the week, meteorologists said.

The Bad

A 2-year-old girl died after she was left inside her mother’s SUV all day, Cincinnati.com reported Aug. 24. Police were called after the child was found by a teacher at Glen Este Middle School, where the mother is an assistant principal.

The Weird
