Out towards the shore, little different story. Lingering, little damp road situation going on for you there. But, this is the front thats clearing out. Once it does, we do clear out completely overhead. And warm up very, very readily. For the kids, headed out to school, make sure that theyre ready with shorts and tshirt.
