DHTWN REMINDER:
There’s a lot of to be distraught about these days, but life goes on, keeps moving, flowing, and willing itself onward. We’re a manifestation and part of that life force, but it goes way beyond us, and we’re lucky to be a part of it. Even if things aren’t going well, there’s always a chance things might improve. If you’re struggling, I hope things go better for you today, and stay open to the chance that they will – they just might.

MORNING DISCUSSION
Good morning folks, our tranquil Spring/May pattern continues and shows no real signs of abating at the moment.
There isn’t too much to discuss this morning other than what’s been laid out in the sections above.
I guess the main difference for today and tomorrow is that some of us will see cumulus clouds bubble up a bit, and some of those may develop darker gray bellies and drop a shower or even a thunderstorm, with best chance of any lightning or thunder being Friday, not today.
The bottom line is that we’ve got no big wind, no big storms, no heat waves and no huge weather headlines or setups to run through.
Tomorrow, however, will be quite warm, so that’s noteworthy for sure, with highs in the upper 70s to mid 80s!
Saturday may feature a shower or two south of the Pike with highs in the 70s, and Sunday Mother’s Day looks lovely with highs in the 60s to near 70º with sunshine expected, which will last into early to mid next week.
The next rain chance is middle of next week thanks to a trough descending south of southeast Canada, but even that is not a super strong signal.
Anyway, steady as we go… I hope you have a great day and that things go your way!
BE KIND
“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you’ve got a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies: Goddamn it, you’ve got to be kind.”
–Kurt Vonnegut
