There was 0.14" of rain in the gauge this morning at 5:30 AM. I guess it rained some more after I checked the gauge at 8 PM last evening. The 5:30 AM temperature was 70ºF, the sky was overcast, and no wind was noticeable.

The forecast for today is for a high around 83ºF and a 20% chance of rain.

The low for today was 65ºF and the high was 82ºF. The clouds cleared off sometime before 1 when we returned home from church. The rest of the day was mostly sunny.
