As I peer out my window and check the weather app between sips of coffee, it seems we're starting off with some clouds but don't let that dampen your mood. It's gonna be partly sunny today, with a high near 29. So, layer up if you're heading out this morning, and don't forget your mittens! ❄️🧤
Tonight, we're looking at mostly cloudy skies and a low around 16. It might be a good night to cozy up with a warm blanket and catch a glimpse of the stars at the Kirkwood Observatory. 🔭🌌
But hey, don't let those clouds get you down because tomorrow is shaping up to be a beauty! Starting off partly sunny and then gradually becoming sunny, with a high near 35. Sounds like a porch-sitting afternoon in the making! 🌤️☕
