OSNW3 | OSHKOSH-NORTH

Last week my wife told me that her and her co-workers can't recall a school year starting out so chilly. I think it's just the afterglow of a warm summer.

After the potentially wet and stormy weather in the coming days, long range, 6-14 day, forecasts call for above average temps and below average precip.

I welcome back autumn with open arms. Forecasts call for a cooler than average period through next weekend.
