Today's Weather: Summer's Here!

By Selena Fragassi in News on Jun 21, 2015 3:05PM


It's the first official day of summer, and it's a beautiful beginning to the season we've been waiting for since January. A high pressure system rolls in to town today and provides pleasant conditions for all your outdoor Father's Day activities. We'll see temperatures climb into the 80s and will get just a little cooler in the late afternoon as winds pick up.

The rain leaves the area for today, too, with dry conditions after last night's active storms and light show. But not for long as storms and humidity build during the week. Yep, summer is here alright.
