to the National Weather Service, rain is likely this afternoon.
And Saturday. And Sunday. Temperatures will hover between 50 and 60

Inside the Islander: Our story of a hobbit-like house on Bainbridge drew attention from a few local and national outlets. Builder Chris Whited said he was surprised to even see it on the Sun’s A1. “I figured the front cover was reserved for escaped convicts and politicians,” he said in an email.
