Wednesday evening for Thursday

A Super Summer Day!

The temperature is still 76 degrees at 6:40 Wednesday evening.

Tomorrow is Garbage Day.

The YNN Weather Forecast: "A warm front will lift to our north (Thursday) bringing a return to very warm temperatures but also increasing humidity. While most will remain dry, a pop-up type thundershower can’t be ruled out. Highs will be in the low to mid 80s. Friday will be very warm and humid with highs well into the 80s. Most of the day will be dry, although a cold front arriving late may spread a few hit or miss showers and storms into the area.

Saturday will only be slightly cooler with just the risk for a shower early. Highs will be back down in the upper 70s to around 80, which is still unseasonably mild. Sunday will be mainly dry with just a slight risk for a pop-up thundershower. Highs will be in the low to mid 80s. Memorial Day will be similar to this Friday with very warm temps and humidity. While much of the day will be dry, a scattered shower or thunderstorm can’t be ruled out later in the day.
