~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
–Cold start, mild finish with highs in the upper 50s to mid 60s, sunny and dry
–Temps drop to the upper 20s to mid 30s overnight for one last chilly night with patchy frost possible, but widespread freeze potential leaves the building this morning
–For Saturday, high pressure drops south of us, but we’ll still be under its influence for much of the day
–Expect partly to mostly sunny skies early, but clouds will build in the afternoon with highs in the 60s, light southwest wind
–Lows hang in the low to mid 40s as scattered showers moves through at night into early Sunday morning with a warm front
–Sunday looks mostly cloudy, with perhaps a few isolated showers and/or breaks of sun by afternoon
–Highs top out in the 65-70º range, with lows the low 50s
–Monday soars into the low to mid 70s under partly sunny skies
–Clouds increase Monday night into Tuesday night as a cold frontal system approaches, with lows Monday night in the 50s and highs Tuesday near 70º
–Highs in the 60s through rest of week, with showers arriving Tuesday night and some could be heavy with thunderstorms possible
–Wednesday is a break in the action with a few more showers by Thursday, and possible rainstorm Friday into Saturday, so our recent dry period is waning

YOUR MORNING DISCUSSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning folks, I hope your plants survived, it was a touch milder than expected, but we still saw some low 20s out there, with many areas in the mid 20s to low 30s.

We’ll get one more last day of full sunny resplendence by which much rejoicement and joyous clamor will be cast forth.

Enjoy it, because after the first part of Saturday, our skies will slowly begin to fill with more condensing water vapor from Sunday forward into and through next week.

No doubt, we’ll get some sunny periods (possible late Sunday, part of Monday, perhaps part of Wednesday), but we’ve also got several showery periods starting with Saturday night into early Sunday (which looks rather feeble at the moment).

It is next Tuesday night into early Wednesday that looks juicier with thunderstorms possible, and then by late week when a rainstorm could reach our hills and dales, so get out and soak up the sunshine folks!

And also refer to the Nutshell above for details. Have a great day!

>>> 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
