Monday: Milder

With breaks in the cloud, it was a pleasant, if not warm day. Star–gazers, if they are patient, will have one more chance to view the Perseid meteor shower as the sky clears tonight. Tomorrow, we’ll see more morning sun and it will be milder, but Tuesday’s weather will go downhill with wind and showers developing in the afternoon behind a sharp cold front. The rain and wind will end by Wednesday morning, and a steady improvement will take us into the weekend.
