Weather:
Cloudy all day with temperatures in the mid 70's. Count called at 2pm due

Very quite until noon, not even locals. Locals: TV, BV, CH and RT. A group
of osprey pushed through just before the rain started.

Predictions:
Tomorrow could be a wash out for much of the day. Sixty to seventy percent
