If you know the rest of the above title, you know about the hilarious cable television comedy that stars a person whose birthday is today. 

But........

First, The Forecast:

The weather pattern that started on Sunday is still with us today, giving us plenty of
sunshine.   But the tempertures have been dropping a bit each day, making it feel more like
autumn than it did yesterday.

More sunshine, but a more seasonal high of 56-degrees today.

Clear skies give us a chillier night tonight.   And once again,  Wednesday will feature seasonal
highs in the fifties.

Next chance of rain is Thursday night into Friday.

And it is worth mentioning here that over the weekend, there's a chance of a southern storm
system moving in, much like the remnants of Ida did last week.   We could be setting up a similar
scenario, with rain in the forecast Saturday night into Sunday. 

Don't freak out just yet.  We'll keep you updated all
week long.
