Well, it's not looking good if you're a sun and heat lover for this

I tend to agree with you Keith. *The models are only hinting at an

There are hints Mike! I'd settle for those 12z gfs charts for next
weekend! It would be at the expense of a forecast, but who cares! I
have guests with young children. I really don't want rain! I want nice
sunny, calm picnic and boat trip conditions with rain only forecast
several days ahead, on washing day, or something!
