Clouds and rain move through Union County

Above is a photo taken Tuesday night, looking past past the Union County Middle & High Schools as the storm moved through. Below that is another photo from Andy Sutton.

We can say farewell to the rain for awhile and a big hello to hot summer.

Temperatures will push into the upper 80s Wednesday and then settle into the lower 90s for next several days, at least. Sunshine will be in abundance.

This will be our first extended hot weather of the season. Be sure to hydrate and take a break if you need to.
