Rain! It is forecast to rain today, tomorrow, and through the weekend! It seems unlikely—since it is clear and warm currently—but that is the forecast. Also, the forecast calls for considerably cooler temperatures—sub-60-degree temperatures. It has been in the upper 60s and low 70s, and we have been spoiled by this spring-like weather. If the weatherpeople are correct (the hope, of course, is that—as is often the case—they are not), we have some unpleasant—albeit not particularly stormy—weather in store.
