CONWAY — Glad to see Elsa and the flash flood watch in the rearview mirror, clearing the way for a great weekend, with sunny skies forecast for today and tomorrow — perfect for a round of golf, a bike ride, trip to the river or a hike.
Between last weekend's showers and Thursday and Friday's rain, it's been wet at that, helping with shopping but not so much with outdoor activities. That's all changing today, however, so onward to the great outdoors!.
