Nice end to summer
After our wacky weekend with heavy rain showers, thunderstorms and winds that caused numerous power outages, we're calming down, getting sunny and warming up. Today, we're starting out with clouds and a few sprinkles. This afternoon we'll have nice sunshine (though it will stay cloudy longer to the north), and top out in the mid-to-upper 70s.
