8:30 PM ET August 10th - Bands of showers and storms on Monday will bring some rounds of locally heavy rain to the area, especially closer to the coast. Some isolated spots could see 4-6" of rain. If it falls in a short amount of time, localized flash flooding may occur, especially in urban, low-lying, or poor drainage areas.

Locations that have stayed dry in the last day or two, such as southeast Alabama, will have a better chance of seeing afternoon and evening thunderstorms today, as deeper moisture spreads further to the northwest. Highest storm chances will be over the Florida Big Bend and south-central Georgia. Storms will bring lightning, and stronger storms could drop a quick inch or two of rain. So, head indoors when storms approach.

130 Years and Still Going Strong

The Adel News Tribune is the oldest surviving business in Cook County, and at 130 years old is, in fact, older than the county itself. Current General Manager Maria Hardman along with Charles Shiver work hard to bring you all the news for not just Adel, but all of Cook County

First published in 1889 by AH Shaw the very first edition of the paper was sold at auction to Mr John Beamguard for 50 cents out the rear window of the office. There is an original printing of that first edition in the Cook County Historical Society Museum, located in the old post office downtown.

As the county grew so did the paper. With circulation rising newer technology was utilized to help make the printing process faster and more efficient, something previous owner Mr Patten was a big believer in when it came to business.

The printing has gone from linotype to digital over the years and now we are branching into 21st century technologies like our podcast and social media.
