After a week of lively, vivacious weather, this week seems to be so sluggish. We suppose it's nearing that transitional time - from summer to fall - but we just weren't quite ready for it yet. Fog is back with us again and will burn off mid-morning only to reveal cloudy skies and a slight chance of showers this afternoon. Highs will reach the mid-70s today and drop into the mid-60s tonight as, once more, fog rolls in late. We've gone a long time since hitting 80 degrees - 14 days - a stretch not seen since at this time of year since the 1880s.
