 | Date  : 22 Oct 07:12 AM
 | Votes : Good: 23   Bad: 7
 +----------------------------------------------

Our recent stretch of cool weather was tempered by a well timed warmer weekend with highs on Saturday soaring into the upper 70s and low 80s. The forecast for this week is a difficult one some forecast models depicting daily rain while others keep us dry with pleasant temperatures.  We will take what we get with hopes of mostly dry weather to help farmers make progress with the fall harvest.
