Good morning, Fort Greene and Clinton Hill.

Today is hopefully the last day of rainy weather until Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service. Its forecast calls for showers and thunderstorms during the day and tonight, with a high of about 84 degrees and a low near 70. Saturday and Sunday look to be twin beauties: Mostly sunny skies with highs in the 80s and lows in the 60s. (Monday, with the same forecast, makes it a triplet.) Locals, don’t forget to post your pictures from the weekend on The Nabe’s Flickr page.
