Chances of sprinkles

That rain was such a welcome relief!!! But sadly (in my opinion), it’s not rainy season yet. Friday and Saturday will be partially sunny days that reach the low 80s, before Sunday brings back cooler temps and another chance of sprinkles.

Even though we’ve got another month of Summer, it’s a good time to make sure you’ve got what you need for the rainy season. Check those boots and coats to see if their waterproofing has held up and whether they need any treatments or mending, because you’re going to need them soon!
