While we expect cooler than normal temps and showers and thunderstorms Tuesday into Wednesday, no major impacts are expected leading into the weekend. High winds are pretty typical for the PNW. The good news is that by Saturday, things turn around. Checking out the Weather Channel's extended forecast, Saturday through Monday is predicted to be partly cloudy. High temperatures will range from the upper 60's on Saturday to low 80's by Memorial Day.

His father also served in the Army, in the first World War. Both are buried Fort Snelling National Cemetery in Minnesota. My mother and grandmother are there, too. I'll be making a visit to Fort Snelling next year on Memorial Day.
