Meridian, Idaho, has been buzzing with activity over the past 24 hours, with everything from sports highlights to changing weather and community updates!

Yesterday brought unsettled weather, with highs around 57°F and lows dipping to 48°F. Rain was scattered early in the day but did little to dampen the vibrant spring atmosphere as locals prepared for sunnier days ahead. Allergy sufferers beware, though—pollen counts are climbing. Cottonwood registered at a whopping 84, with Ash at 44 and Elm at 5, pushing the overall count into the "high" category. Make sure to grab those antihistamines if you're stepping outside! Meanwhile, the Air Quality Index in Meridian stood at 54, categorized as moderate, which means it’s generally safe to be outdoors, though sensitive groups might experience mild symptoms.

In local high school sports, the Meridian High School Warriors had a thrilling day on the diamond. The baseball team pulled off a dynamic 7-5 victory against their rivals from Eagle High, while the softball team played an impressive game, narrowly losing 4-3 in extra innings against Nampa High. On the track, several Meridian athletes posted personal bests, setting the stage for upcoming regional meets.

In community news, the Initial Point Gallery at Meridian City Hall unveiled the "Of Leaf and Petal" art exhibit to celebrate spring. The display features stunning nature-inspired works created by local and regional artists. If you’re an art enthusiast, this is a must-visit showcase. On a more serious note, tensions flared earlier this week at a Tesla dealership protest in Meridian, resulting in an altercation and one arrest. The police continue to investigate while urging peaceful expression of views.

Looking ahead, residents can expect warming temperatures over the weekend, with forecasts predicting plenty of sunshine starting Friday. This bodes well for outdoor plans, whether it’s hiking, gardening, or simply soaking up spring vibes.

Whether it's battling rising pollen, cheering on local sports teams, or enjoying the blossoming art scene, Meridian continues to thrive as a lively and connected community. Keep checking for updates, and enjoy everything this beautiful town has to offer!
