| What a glorious day! Thanks to Angie Stern-Lynch who shared this lovely photo with us. Sadly, it won't look like that during the weekend. A partly cloudy few days are on the way, with top temperatures in the mid to high 20s. On Friday we could see a shower along the coastal fringe, but otherwise the remainder of the week should be nice and dry. | | Check the seven-day forecast for your town |
