This Morning’s Bulletin — 7.15.16

Good Morning!

• Today will be mostly sunny, with a high near 90 degrees and a west wind 7 to 11 miles per hour. We are under an ozone health advisory for today — ozone tends to make outdoor physical activity difficult on hot afternoons. Tonight will be mostly clear, with a low around 68. Saturday will be mostly sunny, with a high near 85. We’re expecting a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms before noon Sunday, but otherwise it will be partly sunny, with a high near 83.
