Good morning and happy Thursday. We hope you enjoyed the sunshine, because itâs packing its bags for a bit. We’re heading into a stretch of grey skies and rain, with showers expected every day this week. While it wonât be a total washout, the forecast is looking damp and drizzly â so grab that umbrella and rethink any rooftop plans. On the bright side, temps will stay comfortably in the 60s and 70s.
