Rain, Rain, Stay Away ... We Want to Play This Weekend

LOCAL WEATHER — The weekend weather forecast calls for some rain, with temperatures in the 50s, maybe even near 60 on Sunday, according to the National Weather Service. This past week's weather report foretold of rain, but we mostly missed out. Let's hope the prognosticators are off base or the clouds shift elsewhere (Indiana deserves rain) and we get to spend our weekend firing up the grill.
