WEATHER
Today is going to be a wet day, but it won’t get really wet until this afternoon. So if you’ve got to be outside to get some work done, get it done early and save the inside tasks for after lunch. It will be a comfortable rain with the high around the 70° mark and an evening low in the low 50’s. 🙂 Believe it or not, today is “Look Up At The Sky Day.” You might want to get that done before the rain comes down. 😉
COLEMAN BRIDGE REPORT
We’re looking at a clear docket at The Coleman today with no openings announced! The rain may slow you down, but the bridge won’t. 🙂 Have a great day.
