Temperatures today were much cooler than in recent days. Still, it felt pretty good, as long as you found the sunny spots. That was a bit more difficult this afternoon given that clouds increased. Those clouds are our friends tonight, as long as you’re trying to keep temperatures as mild as possible (it is May, after all!). They become less friendly tomorrow with rain moving into the region.
