Grab your sunglasses and maybe a rain jacket for Friday morning, because the Need to Know Morning Show is laying out your ultimate Memorial Day weekend game plan. Kevin Flynn and Alex Taylor break down why you should absolutely work Friday and burn that vacation day on Tuesday instead (hint: 90-degree beach weather is on the way!).

Plus, we talk to Chahinka Pazoo director Kathy Deakman about an upcoming 40th birthday bash for a local celebrity orangutan, and check in live with fishing expert Steve Carney to see what’s snapping out on the water.
