Tornados hit Arkansas. Why grocery prices are rising. Jim Traber.

Want some good news? NewsOKtv’s Damon Fontenot reports it was a dramatic debut for the RedHawks in their season opener last night at the Bricktown Ballpark. Oklahoma battled back from an early deficit to beat Memphis 4-3 in extra innings.
More good news, The Sports Animal’s Jim Traber is recovering from diverticulitis, that’s an intestinal disorder. Read Mel Bracht’s account in today’s sports section. Traber has been in the hospital recovering from emergency surgery, and was lucky the attack occurred at home and not driving to Kansas City for the Big 12 tournament.
Expect Partly cloudy in the morning before clearing. Highs in the lower 60s. Northerly winds 10 to 15 mph. On Saturday, Sunny. Highs about 70. And windy. Of course.
