13 Things About the Week Ahead

1. The weather is lookin’ good. If the National Weather Service’s weather predictions are correct, it’s going to be a pretty nice weather week. On Monday morning, there will be a little bit of rain and then clouds, with muggies in the afternoon. But the sun is expected to return on Tuesday, with temps in the 70s. Similar weather is expected on Wednesday and Thursday. But by Thursday night, rain could return, with temps dropping down in the high 40s. Friday is expected to be another sunny day though. Check back with our daily 5 Things for the latest weather, posted every weekday at 5:45 a.m. on Patch!
