Good Morning & Aloha. Expect a familiar rhythm this week: PM thunderstorm chances linger through Thursday before things dry out for a sunnier stretch to close things out. Wednesday brings Sterling Ranch's very first Farmers Market, Saturday is stacked wall to wall with community events (a 5K for all abilities, a mural-coloring bash, and enough decluttering and paint recycling to make your garage proud), and HRCA's Curtain Call brings jazz and soul to the Mansion Thursday night. Round up the family, there's plenty to see.
