Today's Weather: Life's A Beach

By Jon Graef in News on Jul 27, 2014 2:30PM

Expect more cloudy weather and some afternoon thunderstorms as temperatures cool down a bit for the start of the week. Highs will be in the mid-70s to low-80s, just like your favorite classic rock station. Sunday will be less muggy than Saturday, which is a good thing as far as we're concerned. If you were thinking about taking a dip today, do it now: the National Weather Service has issued a Beach Hazards Statement which will be in effect from late this evening until Tuesday.
