We are still holding on to relatively dry and and relatively low dew points in the mid to upper 50s. That is still keeping things rather comfortable and it is certainly better than dew points in the low 70s and temperatures in the 90s. We will see sunshine today. There have been upper troughs rotating around an upper low in Eastern Canada and you can see it clearly on the satellite loop but most of the clouds with this are well to the northeast so we should be no worse than partly sunny today and at times mostly sunny. High temperatures will be in the low to middle 80s;

Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.

Good Friday evening, everyone! I hope you all had an amazing workweek. Heading into next week, a large troughing pattern will move in for the eastern half of the country, allowing some of us to get a break from this summertime heat. Unfortunately, this is not the case out West as ridging will dominate and continue to bring above-average temperatures. Overall, this pattern across the U.S. typically limits precipitation, so don’t be surprised if your area stays dry for at least a couple of days in a row.
