Haven’t looked at the forecast to see if it’s worth putting warms on again.

Temperatures above average for start of weekend
We had a mixed bag of weather over the weekend around the state. At times we had sunshine, and other times we had rain and even some spotty hail embedded within some of the stronger cells. The winds also were strong as we had a Wind Advisory that went into effect on Sunday. We even had some frost early Sunday morning as temperatures fell into the low to mid 30s for overnight lows.
