Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

There's still more rain to come, says the National Weather Service, which predicts a real chance of rain by Friday afternoon and evening, persisting through the night and into Saturday morning with a chance of thunderstorms. As for today, expect mostly cloudy skies and cool temperatures--highs in the low 60s. About 1 to 2 inches of rain in the coastal/valley areas and 2 to 4 in the foothills/mountains are predicted to fall. As for snow, it's good news for boarders: the snow level should drop to 7,000 feet on Friday and then to 4,500 on Saturday. Over a foot is expected at resort level, with less than 6 inches below 6,000 feet, probably sparing the Grapevine from closure.
