Perfect Mother's Day ahead

Maybe a little warm today - in the 80s with a chance of some scattered showers - and a little wet tomorrow. But we need the rain. We've had less than 2/3-inch since April 16. And the rain will clear the decks (and some pollen) for a perfect Mother's Day on Sunday. (You did remember it's Mother's Day Sunday, right?) Here's the official forecast.

Meanwhile, to our south, a remnant of that weird sub-tropical storm that was spinning off Georgia and Florida much of this week continues to turn off Florida. The storm was briefly strong enough, with enough tropical characteristics to win itself the first name of the 2007 hurricane season - Andrea. But it weakened as it approached the coast, and fell apart. The heavy rains Florida so badly needs to douse its drought and brush fires never materialized. 

But after the wet threat tomorrow, we're looking at high pressure shoving down from the north and west on Sunday. Expect clear, dry and pretty cool air for this time of year, with forecast highs only about 70 on Sunday. Gusty winds might toss Mom's hat around. Then things will warm up again quickly, to 80 by Tuesday.
