🥵 Consider this your official heads-up: summer isn't done showing off yet. We ease into the week in the mid-90s, then things crank back up toward the weekend, topping out near 99° on Saturday with overnight lows creeping into the 70s too.
Fair warning: we're not meteorologists! Our forecasts are pulled from public weather data as a little extra for our readers. For the most current conditions, your favorite weather app knows more than we do — but we'll always do our best to help you plan your weekend. ☀️
💬 The Watercooler — Gazette staff, freelancers, and community contributors share what's on their minds this week
🌞 Sarah is mourning the end of a really great summer while celebrating her kiddos' successful first week of school!
🌅 Amy scheduled this one ahead, because when it goes live at 5 am she'll still be asleep, waiting on an island sunrise instead of an alarm clock. Feeling pretty grateful about that trade.
