It's starting to feel a lot like summer again as temps are edging their way north of that 80 degree mark. We should hit right on it today under partly cloudy skies so you may just sweat a wee bit if you're outside eating lunch. And, really, you should be. Need a reminder of why you should be? How about this? Or this? Or even this? Yep, we thought so. The energy from today's sunny weather may translate into some storms later tonight with a 40 percent chance of thunder, mostly after midnight; lows will be in the mid 60s. Tomorrow's looking like another unseasonably cool day but the rest of the week should warm back up.
