5. Got Galoshes? It wasn't going to last forever. According to the National Weather Service, our run of perfect weather is about to end.

Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm. Patchy fog after midnight. Otherwise, cloudy, with a low around 52. East wind around 5 mph becoming calm in the evening. Chance of precipitation is 70 percent. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.
