But first, today's weather:

Sunny and pleasant. High: 79 Low: 51.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Birmingham Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories today in Birmingham:
