Second weekend of June. Second weeking of Summer for those who believe that it begins on Memorial Day/ Mother Nature may think otherwise, given cool out-of-season nights and cloudy days with lower-than-normal temperatures.
Friday dawned with temps in the 40s with a projected high of 70, and an overnight low of 49 but Saturday is forecast sunny with a high of 77 degrees. Saturday should be mostly sunny with a high of 78 and an overnight low of 59 and Sunday should be partly cloudy with a high expected to be 79 with a low of 63.
The temperatures may not be warm enough Friday night to see many musicians, but the Jamboree features Josh Blankenship for the spiritual hour at 6:30 pm, followed by Nobody’s Business for dancing, starting at 7:30pm. Guitar raffle results doing the show. Ripejive is on stage at Dogtown Roadhouse from 8pm. to 11 pm.
