thoughts while shavingHigh temp yesterday … perfect for doing most anything outside … High in our area was 71 degrees, a little windy … Great day to cut grass or for most any outdoor activities … And, the folks with the biggest smile today may be NC State basketball team fans … Men and ladies teams were winners in the college playoffs yesterday … More shortly…

Sunny today with a high near 77, windy, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Clear tonight, with a low around 54 and more wind, gusts as high as 21 mph. Easter Sunday (Church Day), sunny with a high near 83, wind gusts as high as 15 mph.

High temp early next week in the mid 80s, a 60% chance of rain Tuesday night and Wednesday … followed by highs in the mid 60s … No better place to be…
