Last night, the Columbus Blue Jackets faced off against the Buffalo Sabres, and while our team came up short in a five to nothing shutout loss, there's plenty of season ahead.

For our listeners planning outdoor activities today, we're looking at typical spring weather conditions. You'll want to keep an eye on the forecast as temperatures fluctuate throughout the day. Make sure to check updated conditions before heading out, especially if you're planning anything this evening. We're also keeping tabs on city hall activities and any updates that might affect your daily commute or local services. It's been a relatively quiet news cycle on that front, but we'll continue monitoring for any announcements that matter to our community. If you're looking for something to do over the next few days, we've got several community events on the calendar. Local schools continue to excel with various achievements in academics and athletics, and we love highlighting those success stories that show the strength of our community.

    Columbus Local Pulse: Easter Sunday Forecast and Spring Updates

    Good morning, this is Columbus Local Pulse for Sunday, April 5. We kick off with the weather impacting our day. Last nights storms brought scattered showers and gusty winds through the wee hours, clearing out just in time for Easter Sunday. Expect mostly cloudy skies with cooler highs around 52 degrees. That chill might cut short outdoor egg hunts at Scioto Mile or German Village parks, so bundle up. Looking ahead, Monday brings sun and clouds with a stray shower possible, highs near 57, and watch for frost alerts overnight, protect those tender plants in your yard. On the crime front, we had two serious incidents in the past day. One person died and another was hurt in a shooting early Friday at First Stop Bar and Grill on Oakland Park Avenue in Linden, authorities are investigating. Later that afternoon, a road rage shooting unfolded near East Livingston Avenue and Lilley Avenue around 2:30, no arrests yet but police urge drivers to stay calm on the roads. City hall updates include traffic shifts starting Monday around the James A. Karnes Building at 410 South High Street, where fencing goes up for demolition prep, so plan alternate routes downtown if youre heading that way. Sports fans, the Columbus Blue Jackets hosted Winnipeg Jets last night at Nationwide Arena, a key matchup we hope boosted spirits. Catch the Columbus Clippers today at 1 against Indianapolis Indians, and Columbus Fury kicks off at 4. Local schools saw strong results too, with high school track teams shining at the regional meets. Music and culture heat up soon: Krooked Kings play A and R Music Bar on April 11, doors at 7. Families, hit Spring Art Breaks at Columbus Museum of Art on April 8 for sensory inclusive fun. And mark Weezer at Nationwide Arena later this month.

    No Kings Day: Thousands Gather Across Central Ohio in National Day of Action

    Good morning, this is Columbus Local Pulse for Sunday, March 29th. We're waking up to some exciting news from yesterday's demonstrations across Central Ohio. Thousands of protesters gathered at the Ohio Statehouse on Saturday afternoon as part of the nationwide No Kings Day movement. The crowd filled the Statehouse grounds and spilled onto surrounding sidewalks, with demonstrators carrying signs and chanting in opposition to the current administration's policies. Participants held placards with messages like Wake Up and Smell the Fascism and When Injustice Becomes Law, Resistance Becomes Duty. Local law enforcement maintained a presence around the Statehouse to manage traffic and ensure public safety, and the event remained largely peaceful despite the heavy energy and congestion. No major incidents or arrests were reported as of Saturday evening. This No Kings Day rally was part of a coordinated effort across over twenty locations throughout Central Ohio. Demonstrations took place in neighborhoods like New Albany, Forest Park, Lancaster, Reynoldsburg, Sunbury, Marysville, Clintonville, German Village, Bexley, Newark, Westerville, Zanesville, Pickerington, Worthington, Hilliard, Mount Vernon, Grove City, Springfield, and beyond. Common Cause Ohio, Columbus 50501, Indivisible Central Ohio, and ACLU Ohio partnered locally for this national day of action. According to reports, this marked the first mass national No Kings protest of 2026, following two previous demonstrations held back in June and October of last year. As we head into today, we're expecting mild conditions for your Sunday. It's a good day to get outdoors if you're looking to catch up on some spring activities. The weather should remain relatively calm through the afternoon, though you'll want to keep an eye on forecasts for the coming week as we move into April. Looking ahead, if you're interested in community engagement and civic participation, many of the grassroots organizations involved in yesterday's demonstrations continue to host regular meetings and town halls throughout the Columbus area. It's a great opportunity to connect with neighbors and stay informed about local issues affecting our community.
