Weather - Does It Matter? - It's The National!!

With the start of the 2018 National Retriever Championship near, the hot topic seems to be the weather. (Or would it be better phrased as the “Cold” topic.)

Saturday, November 10, opening day, is looking to be mainly sunny with high temperature of 42 degrees and winds coming from the north 5 to 10 mph. 

Sunday and Monday the temperatures are predicted to increase to 47 degrees, unfortunately with a cloud cover and a 40% chance of rain showers are predicted on Monday. 

Tuesday, November 13 looks to be the worst day of the week with a high of only 38 degrees and a forecast of pm snow showers. Make sure you are bundled up for the Workers' Party that will be taking place at 6:30 pm at the Carroll Convention & Expo Center.

There is light at the end of the tunnel, SUNLIGHT that is. The weather improves starting on Wednesday with increasing temperatures which will continue to increase throughout the end of the week with a sunny Thursday and a high of 53 degrees is predicted by Friday.
