Weather Outlook

I know it was cloudy. It seem like it had been cloudy and then rain came out of nowhere. Here’s a look at the WTVA – The Weather Authority forecast for the day:

HEATING UP MORE NEXT WEEK Monday is likely to be the coolest day of the upcoming week with highs in the middle and upper-80s. There will likely be some lingering clouds Monday morning with perhaps an isolated light shower. A low chance of rain will remain in play through the middle of the week as a system or two could push towards our are from the northwest.

On This Day

National Pick Strawberries Day! When picking strawberries, you want to pick plump, firm berries. They stop ripening once you pick them, so pick them red.

National Quiche Lorraine Day! This dish is named after the Lorraine region of France. It is a popular variant of quiche that was originally an open pie with a filling of custard with lardons.

Word of the Day: Titubation is unsteadiness of movement; staggering, reeling, lurching.
