Local Yokel Weather 

Good afternoon folks! We sure are enjoying these cooler mornings but more so the drier air and even with temps pushing into the low - mid 80's each afternoon, it doesn't feel as hot with the lower dewpoints. We'll continue to enjoy gorgeous, albeit warm weather through at least Wednesday and past that point in time the level of uncertainty increases a good bit. Hurricane Dorian (currently a Cat 3 as of 2:30p Friday) is churning toward the FL coast and where it goes from there

Good afternoon folks! Cloud cover is beginning to wane a bit as we type this discussion and shower coverage has scaled back to isolated, which should last through the night and into Wednesday. We'll enjoy a bit more sunshine tomorrow morning than what we experienced today and with a front moving in from the west, we expect a round of scattered showers after midday.
