Read MoreWe are definitely beginning to transition from a wetter pattern to a drier one across our region, but before sunny skies dominate our weather we’ll see two more days with at least scattered chances of rain showers. Then, the heat really settles in this weekend, with some of our warmest …

The result was just about as nice an …
Read MoreGood morning. Although rain chances will never be too far away this week, neither will we have rain every day. Instead, we’ll see a mix of sunshine and clouds, with highs generally in the low 90s. When you combine this with a lack of tropical activity, I count that as …
