Rain On The Way

This morning's visual:It was a pretty nice day here yesterday.The afternoon temps were quite warm and it stayed decently mild into the evening.It would have been a nice night to be outside had it not been for the mosquitos.
Overnight the temp dropped to the upper single digits here but,believe it or not,there were FROST WARNINGS issued for inland areas.Interesting to hear on the 30th day of May.Actually,the feel of the air is more fall-like than spring-like.On most of the warm days there is very low humidity and we have had very few foggy nights.Fog is quite normal here through the spring and summer in the evenings.
The day is shaping up to be pretty good for the most part.It is mostly clear here so far but there is a fair amount of rain forecast for tonight with the possibility of thunder storms.Temps will be at or slightly above normal for the high.
