The forecast is looking a little better.

Monday: sunny

Tuesday: sunny

Wednesday: sunny

Thursday: sunny

Friday: sunny

Well, for this week anyway. Then comes the weekend.

Saturday: slight chance of showers and thunderstorms

Sunday: chance of showers and thunderstorms

Let’s hope the key word both days is “chance.” We’re rooting the Albert Lea area ends up on the dry side of those odds.

Or, gee, it would be nice that if the region indeed was hit by a storm, that it would be mild.

Everyone is just plain weary running to the basements, being scared from tornadoes, lightning and the high winds and having to clean up debris afterward.
