Today's Report
We have a little NE wind out this morning, but as it starts to heat up, the wind will probably back down some.  Looks like Summer is approaching quickly, time to bust out the big gear.

Extended Forecast
As expected, when the local weather guys were claiming WINDY conditions for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, they jinxed it big time.  Don't see much wind over 10-15mph, which we usually classify as a little BREEZY, not WINDY!! haha - Enjoy the weekend, looks like a nice one.
