The weekend looks great!

Sunny and breezy Saturday. Cool temps near 60.

"Abnormally Dry" is more widespread this this week's drought monitor. Reservoirs are full, but the top soil in running a bit drier than normal. Rainfall is down about 2" this spring. Hopefully we can make some of that up in the next 12 hours. #NBCCT pic.twitter.com/hdRef8qyKZ
