Sun returns; Tropical Storms Brett and Cindy?
Welcome to the Summer Solstice 2017. I know, it sounds like a B-Rate summer camp movie. But the day many of us wait for to enjoy the longest daylight is finally here. We soak up 15 hours 36 minutes of daylight today.
Don't blink tomorrow because you may miss the extra 4 seconds of "night" as daylight begins to gradually fade. The good news for sun lovers? We enjoy at least 15 hours of daylight through July 23rd.
Sun returns
Our quick hitting early morning showers dropped about .20" rain in many areas. The sun returns as the shower cluster zips off to the southeast.
