MASON MEETS A MOSAIC ARTIST. >> THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO. THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SAY FINALLY. AND WHY NOT? >> WHY NOT DRAW INSPIRATION FROM THE 50'S AND 60'S FROM THESE THESE CLASSIC COMICS AND FROM THE BOOKS SUCH CLASSIC LOOK SEIZE REALLY. >> ROMANCE WOUND ME KIND OF. KIND OF IMAGERY. IF YOU PUT THAT SAME THING TODAY. >> IT WOULD BE US TO MOVE. THAT'S DELICATE SQUARES OF GLASS. AND I'M CUTTING THEM INTO DIFFERENT SHAPES AND SIZES. IT IS ALL GLASS AS WELL. AND ONE LITTLE CHANGE. LAMP LAST PROBABLY 3,000 GLASS PIECES. SO ON AND SOMEONE WHO HAD JUST MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF A SNARKY EXPRESSION, PART SNARKY, PART MYSTERY. I THINK IT'S A MASHUP BETWEEN COMIC BOOKS AND POP ART BETWEEN YESTERDAY AND TODAY. THE PERCEPTION OF THE GUY SMOKING WITH A HARD JOB. AND YOU KNOW, VERY DIFFERENT STYLES FROM WHAT YOU SEE NOW, AN IMAGE OF 2 GUYS KISSING GUYS, MAYBE A LITTLE LESS SURE ABOUT WHAT IT. >> IT MEANS TO HAVE OR WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A WOMAN, YOU KNOW, LITTLE MAYBE YEAH, GASPING. YAHOO. TO ME, SHE'S SOMEONE WHO'S OUT OF TIME. THAT'S MY STORY. >> WHAT'S YOUR STORY FOR YOU? PUTTING SOME SOCIAL COMMENTARY, A SOCIAL COMMENTARY AND HOPEFULLY SOMETHING THAT MAY OPEN UP YOUR EYES A LITTLE THE EYE WITH A WOMAN WITH ONE HERE. AND IT SAYS THIS IS JUST ENDLESS. THE WORK IS CALLED COVID GIRL, YOU KNOW, WANT YOU TO LOOK AT THESE IMAGES AND FEEL AND SEE SOMETHING. THE WORK OF SERA FISHBEIN OF APEX NOT FLAG LAST. THERE'S ALWAYS SOME SOURCE SPARKLE. >> SCHUMER. >> GLOW. >> I CAN MAKE MORE MISTAKES HERE. BUT IN HERE IN THE BLACK THAT HAS TO BE PERFECT. IT'S ABOUT PERSPECTIVE. THERE'S SO MANY DIFFERENT DIALOGUE THAT YOU CAN DO IF I CAN USE THE STYLE OF THE 50'S AND 60'S AND MERGE IT. >> WITH WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW. YOU HAVE A LOT OF FUN TO PLAY WITH.

I'm meteorologist, Kat Campbell and the wr severe weather center, the wr weather alert day will go into tomorrow. We have seen our first round of storms clear the area, but overnight we expect more storms to move in between about three and 9 a.m. Those should be more widespread but with a little bit less energy in the atmosphere, the primary concern there would be damaging winds and then we'll have a low storm threat as we head into tomorrow afternoon. So let's take a look at future casts. Storms continue to clear out from the early evening round. We should be dry 1011 midnight. It's not until about three or 4 a.m. that we begin to see storms move into our western counties and those are going to be with us during the early morning hours. 6 a.m. Rain could be around on a pretty widespread basis, impacting the morning commute. We'll see a good chance for rain seven perhaps lingering into 89 o'clock. After that, we should start to see the rain pushing out and storm chances would be pretty low for the remainder of the day. But in the morning, beware of rain and storms at the bus stop. You may want to wait in the car with your kids if you're able to, especially if there's any thunder or lightning around. Meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner will keep you up to date on that starting at 430 tomorrow on wr news. So be sure to check in with her before you leave the house and head to the bus stop. The good news is storms clear out just in time for Saturday and Sunday. We'll still have some scattered storms around Friday afternoon. Saturday though, it is cooler. It's drier, not so humid. 74 partly cloudy, a 20% chance for rain. Very, very late Saturday night and most of us aren't going to see that 79 for Mother's Day on Sunday. It ends up being a beautiful and dry day for Mother's Day 59 at 8 a.m. 70 by lunchtime upper seventies for the afternoon. And we get a break from the big heat. No more nineties on our seven day forecast, high temperatures are going to be still above normal most days, but a bit closer to normal for this time of year in the seventies and eighties, at least Thursday remains a WRL weather alert day, at least during the morning hours. Friday, we've got some scattered storms a 50% chance. Those are more typical afternoon, summertime storms and then over the weekend things look pretty nice. Overall, the humidity drops in a significant way this weekend we stay pretty comfortable on Monday of next week, but late Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, we could see a soaking round of rain arrive. Certainly good news that we are seeing the rain around here. We just don't need these, the storm threat to go with it.
