WEEKLY AVERAGES
A flip of the calendar into a new month and new weather pattern is AUG. 9 TO 15, 2017 upon us. This August is the Dog Days of Summer that we normally High 80° receive.

Cooler and fall-like temperatures accompanied the %Sun 70% rain and Thursday’s daytime high was only 57°! The temperatures PCP 0.81” rebounded for the weekend, but evening instability showers put a damper on outdoor activities. Overall it was a nice break from the heat and humidity.
