We seemed to have moved from winter to summer in the span of three days. Just a few days ago, we were mired in the 40s with the threat of a rain/snow mix. Now, we've had our first thunderstorm of the season and today, temps will top 80 degrees. Sunny skies and stiff breezes of the 30 mph variety will dominate today and tonight will be equally mild, with lows only dropping to around 60. The weekend is looking okay, with mild temps but a constant threat of rain. Still, it's what we've been waiting for, so no complaints here!
