Faith Based Events

image6Saturday will be drier and will feature sun, clouds, maybe a quick stray shower, and highs in the upper 70s.

Showers and storms return on Sunday, and highs will be near 80 degrees, but a cold front arriving during the evening will bring a longer spell of mostly sunny and decidedly cooler weather.

Lows will be in the 50s during the first half of the workweek. Highs on Monday will top out near 70 degrees, and temperatures will just make it into the upper 60s on Tuesday. Wednesday will be only slightly warmer, with highs around 70 degrees.

In the Atlantic, Alex reached hurricane strength on Thursday and is affecting the Azores. Early on Friday, Alex was located near 27.1 North, 30.8 West, and was zipping northward at 23 miles per hour. Maximum sustained winds were 75 miles per hour, making Alex the first hurricane since 1938 to have formed during the month of January.
