Winds stayed light, mostly around 6 miles per hour, as the local radar hinted at occasional sprinkles throughout the early hours, so keep those umbrellas handy if you’re running errands or heading out to the local farmers market.

For allergy sufferers, late blooming grasses combined with dampness meant the pollen count stayed moderate overnight, while air quality downtown and through Salem Street has held steady in the good range—breathing easily is not a problem for most Apex locals today.
