Good Morning, ladies and gentlemen. Here's hoping you got over your meat comas, sunburns, day drinking and everything else you did on Labor Day. Because it's back to work for most of us and back to school for the rest. The forecast from Skilling Central and Accuweather is ideal for it. We have lower humidity levels across the area along with a slight drop in the mercury to the upper 70s.

As we head into the evening the skies are expected to clear more with overnight lows in the mid-60s. It will be—wait for it—cooler by the lake. Heading into the midweek, we have dueling forecasts. The humidity is expected to return along with some warmer temps, but the question dividing Skilling Central and Accuweather is will it rain. Skilling Central says yes; Accuweather is hedging its bets. Should be an interesting week, weather-wise.
