Hopefully, everyone is enjoying President’s Day and a shortened work/school week. Today will wind up being the pick of the week with mostly sunny skies and high temperatures in the upper 40’s with light winds.

Tuesday will feature clouds and periods of light rain. Right now it doesn’t look like too much rain which is a welcome relief for our area the way things have been going lately.

After the rain, we get another cold snap Thursday into Friday but it will not be as cold as the last one. Look for morning temperatures in the teen Friday morning and low 20’s Thursday and Saturday.
