Rainy

This morning's visual

It was nice and warm here yesterday,a 'T-shirt weather' day,and it lasted into the evening.Some dampness began to move into the area after sunset and this morning it is raining and cool.
There is a fair amount of rain on the way for today and tonight with very cool temps....down to the mid single digits.
No improvement is expected until Monday...of course.
