Sun, Clouds, Then Rain

Sunny skies at start
It was bright sunshine when Becca and I hit the trail west of Tortugas Mountain this morning, a little later than normal because I had an appointment to have my teeth cleaned.  The weather quickly changed as a persistent westerly wind blew cloud cover in.  Back at home now, hours after the hike, it's been raining steadily for about forty minutes.  Tomorrow we'll experience the wind event that weather forecasters have been warning us about for an entire week.
