Oh, Tuesday, once again, we'll sing your praises. Especially after we owe Monday an apology for the rain that never came. In fact, while there were storms to the southeast of us, there was never anything close to rain and we'll see much of the same today. And after what we said about you last, week, Tuesday... well, apologies all around. Our face is red, mea culpa, etc. You're so friendly and affable, the way you're delivering highs in the lows 70s and sunny skies. We suppose your gusty winds are your gentle reminder of who's in charge and that's fine, we'll allow it. A thundershower or two may pass through overnight towards tomorrow morning, but otherwise, Tuesday, you're looking fine in our eyes, especially given the forecast for later in the week.

And we hope everyone carries over the kind weather to being kind to crossing guards today for, well, Crossing Guard Appreciation Day.
