The Sun Will Return ... Eventually: Week Ahead Forecast

SEATTLE, WA - The forecast for Mother's Day weekend said that it was going to be rainy and cloudy for a majority of the time. That turned out to be slightly off, with much of the region seeing a lot of sun (mixed, of course, with showers) on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Let's hope this week's forecast is inaccurate, because it shows a lot of rain, cool temperatures, and clouds
