WEATHER AND SUNRISE/SUNSET TIMES

Mostly cloudy, chance of rain. High in the upper 50s – then we might not even break 50 for the rest of the week. Sunrise today is at 7:39 am; sunset, 6:06 pm.

ROAD-WORK ALERT

We’re checking with SDOT to see if the Delridge repaving in the northbound lanes north of Genesee is expected to wrap up today as projected. (11:11 am update: Even while we awaited an answer to that inquiry, somebody at SDOT tweeted that the work may last until Thursday – thanks for the tip.)
