I have been outside all ready this morning at 7:00 AM and it isn’t too bad yet. But the forecast for humidity and heat. But with that there is a cold front moving in tonight, so we could get some rain between 10 and midnight. See what happens. Also, the cold front will be here for the weekend, so looks like it could be an almost perfect summer weekend. Time will tell.

Winter temperatures will be much warmer than a normal winter, on average, despite cold periods in the early part of the season (December and January).
