Forecast: Slight afternoon storm risk today, then smooth sailing into the weekend
Even though we could still use more rain, after a few days of murky conditions, it’s nice to see the sun make a return. We start that process today, and head full steam into it for the next several. Outside a slight shower or thunderstorm risk this afternoon into early evening, the rest of the week features several days in which it might be hard to find much in the way of cloudiness, let alone any more precipitation.
