Weather Outlook

Yesterday was a little wet. Hope everyone had a wonderful Mother’s Day! Here’s a look at the WTVA – The Weather Authority forecast for the day:

Sunny and dry with spotty showers by mid-week A DRY START TO THE WORK WEEK Expect mostly clear skies as we head into the new work week. Temperatures will be chilly in the mornings, mostly in the lower to mid-50s both Monday and Tuesday mornings. A few patchy areas of fog will also be possible. So you may want to give yourself extra time for that. But rain stays out of the forecast. Expect sunshine during the afternoons with a light north wind, so highs will be in the mid and upper 70s. This will put us a few degrees below our average for this time of year, which is around the lower 80s.
