Another Awesome Day!

We couldn't ask for a better way to wrap up July. Sunshine, below normal temperatures, and low humidity continues today. We will slowly feel the mugginess returning tomorrow and through the weekend. Recent runs of the models bring heavier rain Saturday morning as an upper level low pressure system brings a front that will stall just to our south. With the front being nearby we'll have a daily chance of rain into the start of next week. But don't expect rain at all times! It will be scattered so you'll still have the opportunity to enjoy some time outdoors.

Have a great day!
