The National Weather Service has designated next week as “Safe Boating Week.” Take this link to see the seven days of boat safety information that begins Saturday.

A high pressure ridge has brought us lots of sunshine and warmer temperatures. A weak frontal system will bring back the clouds, but not much of a chance of showers for your Saturday. Other storms will move in but there still won’t be much rain falling. Looks like a pretty good weekend for the Rhododendron Festival in Florence and the rest of Western Oregon.
