 Well, today is Friday. It's now July 19th of 2024 as we are met by a very pleasant afternoon. Plenty of sunshine today with highs scattered throughout the mid to upper 80s. Some regions flirting with the lower 90s. Winds from the southeast at about 5 to 10 miles an hour. Heading into tonight, partly cloudy skies will persist this evening, followed by increasing clouds and isolated showers and storms developing overnight. Lows tonight dropping back down into the mid to upper 60s. Last time we had a chance to catch up with USDA meteorologist Brad Rippey.
