Hopefully we don’t cloud over too much today for the solar eclipse (although we are not in the direct path, we should see a partial eclipse) the only problem is some passing clouds with a possible shower here and there – but at least we’re above seasonal temperature wise. We hold onto those temperatures for most of this week with some clouds and sun.
