This May hasn’t delivered much rain, but it has sent day after day of beautiful weather. While a bit warmer than recent days, today was pretty close to normal with highs near 80, and with low humidity it was quite ideal for any outdoor plans. A cold front is coming to knock temperatures backward over the next few days. All indications are that it will remain quite pleasant nonetheless.
