A popular website among right-wing conservatives is being removed from some app stores.

Google removed the app on Friday, saying the company failed to remove posts inciting violence.

Apple followed up on Saturday releasing a statement saying in part, "there is no place on our platform for threats of violence and illegal activity."

Additionally, Amazon says it is no longer hosting the website on its servers.

Parler is a social media and blogging site, and many of its users claim Facebook and Twitter unfairly censored their views.

The Tri-State is about to witness a metric ton of change over the next 36 hours or so, but before we get to the meat of the forecast let's focus on the hearer and the now - after seeing an absolutely gorgeous start to the work week with afternoon highs nearing the 70° mark and little to no cloud cover, clear skies will linger through the evening ahead and into tomorrow morning as temperature gradually dwindle into the upper 30s and low 40s area-wide. We'll fall to 42° in Evansville setting the stage for yet another mild, albeit far less quiet Tuesday ahead.
