Weather:
Sleet, ice, rain. You name it, we had it today. No hawk counters made it to the summit.

Predictions:
There may be a few lingering showers to start the day tomorrow. But, the promise of southwest winds and warming temperatures are intriguing. Cloud cover for most of the day may limit thermal development, but some birds may be moving, at least while the winds are not gusting too much.
