 +----------------------------------------------

Labor Day weekend is a mere few days away and is considered as the unofficial end to summer.  Thanks to a high pressure system to our north, this morning's low temperatures certainly feel more like fall with the Sheldon AWOS site dropping into the 40s!  We are set for a spectacular stretch of late summer weather with comfortable highs and sunny skies for the next 7 days.
