I was grumbling about over-sleeping this morning and my wife asked if I wanted to take the car. Silly question!
Easy ride, raining at first in the parking lot but cleared up in a half mile. That happens too often to be sheer chance, but I'm not certain about why. My theory is local cooling by the creek and wet-lands combined with some kind of topological features affecting the flow of air mass. Or maybe it's a perception thing and seems more personal close to home, but I don't think so.
