Hard to believe but students in Waukee schools only have seven days of school left of the 2011-12 school year. I'm probably in denial seeing as how it can't be possible that my baby has already made it through kindergarten. Where did the time go?

I hate to bear bad news but the National Weather Service is forecasting storms after 4 p.m. today. The good news is, until then, it looks like things will be bright, sunny and warm.

Here's the forecast for the next couple days:

Tonight: Mostly clear, with a low around 50. North northwest wind between 6 and 14 mph, with gusts as high as 18 mph.

Wednesday: Sunny, with a high near 76. North northeast wind 5 to 7 mph becoming southeast.
