Meteorologist Mark’s Wx Vlog
Seven-Day Forecast
Daily Forecast Summary/Discussion
It’s looking the best chance for rain this week may come tonight. That rain chance is small, but many of us will see a bit of rain fall from our skies. It will be a chilly rain!
The rest of the week features more clouds but warming temps. By the weekend, we’ll be flirting with 80 degrees. Normal highs this time of year are in the low to mid 70s for our region. We’ve been far from that here lately! Many of us are ready for the warmer weather.
There are still no weather concerns in sight. Monday will hold a chance for storms but right now they’re not looking too bad. I’ll keep an eye on that.

Two people in this vehicle were injured in Florida on I-10 yesterday. Lightning struck the roadway near them and threw a chunk of the road through their windshield and out the back window! A freak accident, for sure. Both people inside were taken to the hospital with injuries.
NASA Nerdology
The OSIRIS-REx probe began heading for Earth yesterday, kicking off a 1.4-billion-mile journey that will culminate with the touchdown of its sample capsule in the Utah desert in September 2023.
That capsule is full of pristine material that OSIRIS-REx collected from the near-Earth Asteroid Bennu in October 2020. It is believed that asteroids hold clues to our own planet’s beginnings.
