Rain and some wind this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central valley — some heavy downpour last night but just a few sprinkles most of today; was somewhat dense earlier this afternoon but didn’t last long.

Prosecute to aid democracy and justice —…
Bright sunshine and warm temperatures still this early-evening Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — another early hint of summer as it supposedly climbed into the 80s late this afternoon.
