it was 86 degrees yesterday. so far, only 54. that's 30-degree drop. tomorrow up to 58. friday it may be colder. back to about 53 degrees. part of the reason for that cool weather is the wet weather coming in. we have a rainy pattern. we may clear out a little bit. overnight tonight. but that system from the west is going to be coming in tomorrow especially during afternoon. watch it as we go through the day. here it comes. west to east, across the area. solid area of rain. hour after hour of rain. and then breaks up a little bit. and then as we go into friday, bigger system comes in, it's
