Today's Forecast

88°
64°

Last chance of late-day storms.

Of course, you know that the hot-and-muggies will be back soon enough. And that Canadian high pressure becomes a "rare" visitor as we get into the summer months. Fronts just don't make it this far south.

But we get a "big break" this time. Enjoy the lower humidities, cooler temperatures and glorious holiday weekend weather coming up! -- Big John
